GARDELLA, Mariana. El testimonio de Aristóteles sobre Zenòn de Elea como un detractor de "lo uno". Eidos [online]. 2015, n.23, pp.157-181. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.23.191.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the traditional interpretation according to which the arguments of Zeno of Elea against multiplicity constitute a defense of monism. I will try to prove that Zeno's objections on plurality suppose a previous critique to the existence of the one. Therefore Zeno is neither a monist nor a pluralist but a philosopher who criticizes metaphysical theories that consider being in numerical terms, i. e. as many or as one. I will focus on the analysis of the interpretation of Zeno's philosophy developed by Aristotle. I will consider some passages from Physics, Sophistical Refutations and mainly Metaphysics III. 4. 1001b7-13 (DK 29 A 21). I will also include some testimonies from Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Physics, where he discusses the interpretations of Eudemus of Rhodes and Alexander of Aphrodisias that support the Aristotelian point of view on Zeno's philosophy (In Ph. 99.7-18, DK 29 A 21; 138. 3-6, DK 29 A 22).

Palabras clave : unity; multiplicity; Zeno of Elea; Aristotle; Simplicius.
