Abstract

The logic which has been used to construct the paradoxes by Zeno is the dialectic,and is the predecessor of the formal logic.From the fundamental of metaphysics(ontology) that what can be thought is that can be,Zeno has thought that contradiction is impossible logically and thereby created the ″antinomy″ of sensibility and reason.Zeno′s Paradoxes have been built on the basis of this ″antinomy″.And this ″antinomy″ is the major root of the formation of Zeno′s Paradoxes.The logic as thought science has been extrapolated to the whole universe and the intellectuality thinking has been extrapolated to rational thinking by Zeno.Logical contradiction has been identified with dialectical contradiction,and further,dialectical contradiction has been canceled.Accordingly,reason has been used to refute sensibility and the existences of the contradictions and motions of things.
