The Eleatics were a pre-Socratic school of philosophy founded by Parmenides in the 5th century BCE in Elea, Italy. Their philosophy posited a radical form of monism, arguing that the true nature of reality is unchanging, indivisible, and eternal. They denied the existence of plurality and change, asserting that sensory experiences of these are illusory. |
