.
In his four paradoxes demonstrating the impossibility of motion, Zeno of Elea argued that the sense-world was an illusion. Yet for Zeno and other Eleatic philosophers of early Greece, knowledge of both the Way of Seeming and the Way of Truth were essential to a complete understanding of the world. As a goddess instructs Parminedes, "Thou shalt inquire in everything: both the motionless heart of well-rounded Truth, and also the opinions of mortals." While Eleatics is situated in a pure geometrical space constructed from interrelations between abstract musical elements, the physical sounding of these elements invokes a complementary sense-world where place, change, time, and motion may be experienced emotionally by mortals.
