Company Provider Operated Cranes or Rental Cranes?

Worrying about an accident on the job can be stressful. Hiring a company with operated cranes can take that stress away. Sure, you could rent a crane by yourself, but a professional will be faster and know exactly how to get the job done safely. If you don't want to be responsible for on the job accidents, it's best to leave it to the professionals.

David Von Walland — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:52:25 +0000

Empedocles of Agrigentum was a Greek philosopher, in addition to being a poet, scientist, and theologian. He lived during the approximate time period of 490 to 430 BCE. Like other pre-socratic philosophers, we have very little of his work which has been handed down mostly by Aristotle and Plutarch. His most notable works are Purifications and On Nature.

Zeno of Elea and Monistic Metaphysics, Part 2

This article is the second and final installment of a two-part series on Zeno of Elea. In the first article, we noted the first five paradoxes on Zeno, in addition to some interpretive gray areas. I should note again that scholars debate the most appropriate interpretation of Zeno, particularly in light of our limited primary sources. For the sake of this article, I hold to the traditional interpretation of Zeno, put forth by Plato, in which Zeno's paradoxes build on and support the work of this teacher Parmenides. I will conclude by briefly considering the huge impact Zeno has made on Western Philosophy.

Zeno of Elea and His Paradoxes, Part 1

Zeno of Elea, a philosopher who lived from 490 to 430 BCE, studied under the famous Parmenides, another philosopher also from Elea. Zeno contributed much to history of western philosophy in addition to also providing a lot of insight to our modern fields of mathematics and science. Zeno's importance rests in his comprehensive writing on motion and change but particularly on the concept of infinity. While most philosophers before him presupposed a notion of infinity without any hesitation, Zeno was the first in Western history to really expose the problematic nature of infinity.
