5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 4. Paradoxes in Logic / a. Achilles paradox

4229	An infinite series of tasks can't be completed because it has no last member [Lowe]
	Full Idea: It appears to be impossible to complete an infinite series of tasks, since such a series has, by definition, no last member.
	From: E.J. Lowe (A Survey of Metaphysics [2002], p.290)
	A reaction: This pinpoints the problem. So are there infinite tasks in a paradox of subdivision like the Achilles?
