455	That which moves, moves neither in the place in which it is, nor in that in which it is not [Zeno of Elea]
	Full Idea: That which moves, moves neither in the place in which it is, nor in that in which it is not.
	From: Zeno (Elea) (fragments/reports [c.450 BCE], B4), quoted by (who?) - where?

27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 5. Relational Space

1511	If everything is in a place, what is the place in? Place doesn't exist [Zeno of Elea, by Simplicius]
	Full Idea: If there is a place it will be in something, because everything that exists is in something. But what is in something is in a place. Therefore the place will be in a place, and so on ad infinitum. Therefore, there is no such thing as place.
	From: report of Zeno (Elea) (fragments/reports [c.450 BCE], B3) by Simplicius - On Aristotle's 'Physics' 9.562.3
