The Eleatic school It is an ancient pre -social school of active philosophy in Elea, Greek colony of ancient Lucania, whose main exponent was Parmenides. Zenone shows the doors of truth and falsehood ( Truth and False , fresco in the Real Library of the Excorory Monastery, Madrid). Other members of the school were Zenon of Elea, Melisso di Samo, and Colonone’s senophanes, which comes from some historians considered as its founder, but this position, probably based on the apparent contiguity between the controversy against the multiplicity of anthropomorphic gods, proper to Senophanes and the concept of the unit of being, elaborated by Parmenides, is discussed. The knowledge on this ancient school, as for all the other pre -social schools, are indirect and are based on certain testimonies and texts of authors of the Parmenidea era. The cities of Magna Grecia that sees Elea located in the current Campania The school took its name from Elea, Velia for the Romans, today in the municipality of Ascea (Salerno), Greek city on the coasts of Cilento, home of its most important exponents: Parmenides and Zenone. Its foundation is often attributed to the colonone senophane, but although in its doctrine there are many elements that will make an integral part of the speculation of the Eleatic school, it is probably more correct to look at Parmenides as its founder. Senofane of Colone was the first to move to the attack of the mythology of archaic Greece, in the mid -6th century BC, throwing himself against the entire anthropomorphic system sanctioned by the poems of Homer and Hesiod. In the hands of Parmenides this spirit of free thought developed in an ontological sense. Later, or because his speculations were offensive for the contemporary citizens of Elea, or due to the lack of a guide weld, the school I will degenerate by focusing on error and rhetorical themes, while the best fruits of this current were absorbed by Platonic metaphysics. Bust of Parmenides, the founder of the school The Eleates reject the epistemological validity of the experience of the senses and instead take on rational parameters of clarity and necessity as criteria of truth. Of the different exponents, Parmenides and Melisso start from tautological and evident premises from which they develop arguments deduced in a perfectly logical and coherent way, while Zenone mainly uses the dialectical method of the reductio ad absurdum That is, trying to destroy the arguments of the opponents by showing that their premises lead them to contradict themselves. Portrait of Zenon of Elea for an eighty edition of the Vite dei filosofi by Diogenes Laerzio The main doctrines of the Eleated were developed in opposition with the first naturalist philosophers of the Miletus school, which explained any form of existence by bringing it back to the primary elements of the cosmos, and with the theory of Heraclitus, which saw in all realities a perpetual change. The Eleated asserted that the true explanation of things is found in the conception of the universal unity of being. In accordance with this doctrine, the senses cannot have knowledge of this unit, because their impressions are inconsistent: it is only through the thought that it is possible to overcome the false appearances of the senses (the dock ) and reach the knowledge of being and the fundamental truth that everything is one. Being also motionless, incorrect and eternal, because it cannot arise from non-being, nor can it never end in it, otherwise at a certain moment would not be . They argue that errors on this point commonly derive from the ambiguous use of the verb to be, which can mean “exist”, or be mere copula that connects subject and predicted. Although the conclusions of the Eleates were rejected by the late pre -preocrats and by Aristotle, their topics were taken seriously, and is generally recognized to have significantly improved the parameters of the philosophical argument in their era, starting to formalize the basic concepts of western logic . Their influence was similarly durable, Gorgia, a sophist, argues according to the style of the elegates in his work On nature or what is not , while Plato recognized its importance in the dialogues of Parmenides , of the Sophist he was born in Politic . In addition, many of the methods and principles established first by the Eleates were borrowed from the later philosophies. “Einstein drew inspiration for his theory of relativity from the paradox of Achilles and the turtle of the philosopher Zenone, who lived in Elea, a city of Magna Grecia (the current Cilento) founded in the 6th century BC, then renamed Velia by the Romans and finally Ascea . And it is certainly not accidental that, in honor of the ancient city, Adriano Olivetti wanted to name Elea the generation of supercomputers developed in the 50s of the twentieth century, whose Elea 9003 model was the first commercial supercomputer entirely transistors of the history of information technology ” .
