Good Survey of Modern Reaction,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zeno's Paradoxes (Paperback)
This is a great introduction to the modern reaction to Zeno's paradoxes. The most important articles from Russell to the debates on infinity machines are included. The bibliography, at over 200 works, is the best I've seen. There is a mathematical bent to most of the articles, usually in the form of questions of infinity, or measure theory. Nonetheless, there are articles by philosophers who reject the idea of a completed infinity. I did a semester-long college project on Zeno's paradoxes, focusing on mathematical implications, and this was the most useful sourcebook by far.

Great Investigation of the Notion of Infinity,
This review is from: Zeno's Paradoxes (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It's a great survey of the notion of infinity, and the quality of the prose is, for the most part, very good. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in philosophy, mathematics, or the history of thought.
