They crafted not only theories about the nature of reality, but mathematical puzzles and ethical conundrums. Heraclitus thought that change was the essence of being, but Parmenides disagreed holding change to be impossible and his student Zeno gave us paradoxes to support that. We will examine these ancient controversies and see how they form the foundation of the questions we still ask. (See related classes: #354, 395, 432)
