Eleatic School

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Eleatic School

The view of the pre-Socratic philosophers Parmenides and his follower Zeno, who lived in Elea (a Greek colony in southern Italy) in the early 5th century BC. They taught that reality is single and unchanging, and that sense experience is illusory.

Melissus of Samos further developed Eleaticism. Xenophanes of Colophon is often linked to the Eleatics.
