Who: Eleatic
What: philosophic school
Where: Elea, Italy
Detail: School included Parmenides, Zeno of Elea, and Melissus. Only deduction from accepted principles and ideas can reveal truth, not sensations. Only identities are true, because world is one unified thing, so no relations are possible. All other principles can reduce to contradictions {reductio ad absurdum, Eleatic}.
