Are Zeno’s Paradoxes of Motion Fallacies? Evidence from the Hebrew Aristotelian Logical Tradition2024 •
Following the Arabic tradition, medieval Hebrew commentaries on Aristotle’s Topica and De Sophisitics Elenchis understood Zeno’s paradoxes of motion as dialectical fallacies related to widely-held opinions or incorrect inductive arguments. Following Al-Fārābī and Averroes, Hebrew Aristotelian commentators include discussions of Zeno’s paradoxes of motion in their commentaries on Topica and De Sophisitics Elenchis. Aristotle’s own discussions of Zeno’s paradoxes in those works, however, merely allude to the difficulties without presenting solutions. Indeed, they point elsewhere, most likely to the Physica where Aristotle provides a detailed account of those paradoxes and their solutions. The shift in emphasis in the discussions of Zeno’s paradoxes of motion as dialectical paradoxes in the Topica and De Sophisticis Elenchis in the works of Al-Fārābī and Averroes was likely due to the importance of those paradoxes for Kalām atomism. Hebrew commentators inherited this approach, even though they did not operate in the context of the Kalām.

Weronika Łaszkiewicz’s work, which culminated in the creation of this book, cannot be overvalued. As the author points out, the fantasy fiction genre is often ignored and looked down upon by scholars studying literature. However, in the rapidly changing landscape of contemporary fantasy fiction the importance of such studies cannot be stressed enough. Although fantasy fiction is still often excluded from mainstream literature, the popularity of the genre seems to be on the rise, with many new, talented writers of different backgrounds taking on the challenge of creating something original and meaningful to readers. To discard the idea of studying contemporary fantasy fiction is to lose the chance of exploring one of the most fascinating and complicated ways in which writers and readers engage with old myths and tales and the most universal ideas of what humanity is and is not. The articles gathered in this book tackle some basic concepts that come with studying the genre, including but not limited to the history of fantasy fiction, some classifications of the genre proposed by different scholars, the themes with which fantasy is engaging, as well as deconstruction of some symbols and myths that take place in some notable works of fantasy writers. It is an engaging read, no matter how much knowledge the reader already possesses; what is even more important is that it allows the value of fantasy fiction and ways in which it takes its roots in the oldest traditions of storytelling to be understood and pinpointed.
