Answer: An Illusion.

Explanation:  One of the most celebrated paradoxes in the history of philosophy is that which tells the story of the Greek hero Achilles and the tortoise. It is said that Achilles, running a race with a tortoise, in a rush of generosity, decided to give her a small advantage, letting the animal break a few inches in front of him. According to the Greek philosopher Zeno, as fast as Achilles moved, he could never get past the tortoise. The paradox formulated by Zeno is this: each time Achilles travels a certain distance within a given time, the turtle has already traveled another distance

What Zeno was doing was to demonstrate that the movement of objects is an unrealistic and contradictory phenomenon, always consisting of mere illusion of the senses.

A mini biography for Aristotle
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Aristotle was born in the little village of Stagira in 384 B.C. He was raised as an orphan after his parents died when he was still a child. Though little is known about Aristotle's early years, the occupation of his father, Nicomachus, did have a significant influence on his development.   Aristotle entered Plato's Academy at the age of eighteen and quickly rose to the position of indisputable top pupil. He stayed there for almost twenty years. Despite his criticisms of Plato's beliefs, Aristotle was always careful to acknowledge his debt to his former master and stress the common ground that they shared. Aristotle left Athens after Plato's death in 347 B.C. and traveled for several years, participating in various intellectual groups in Assos and Lesbos. He was asked to tutor Philip's son, the future Alexander the Great, in 343 B.C. He worked with Alexander for three years, primarily teaching standard courses like rhetoric and poetry. Aristotle returned to Athens shortly after Philip's death in 336 B.C., where he built the Lyceum. It was here that he undertook his most important work, and many of his surviving writings were based on lectures prepared for the school.  His greatest achievement is generally considered to be the syllogism, which helped to launch the field of logic. Aristotle died in 322 B.C., having contributed more to Western knowledge than any other individual ever had before or has had since.
