| | | Book recommendation for someone who is fascinated by Zeno's paradox? My brother was floored when I was first studying Greek philosophy and came across Zeno's paradox. One of the things he said he'd like is a book that is "like that." Does anyone know of a book on Zeno's paradox or which has similar neat-to-think-about content?
