Parmenides, Heraclitus, and Zeno

1167.176 - 1202.112 R.C. Sproul

But in any case, this is a very profound thing to be concerned about, as we will see with Plato and Aristotle, and really all future philosophy in a sense. The whole history of philosophy is an attempt to answer the debate between Heraclitus and Parmenides, between being and becoming, between actuality and potentiality, between reality an illusion. And that's why these men are so very important.
