Eubulides of Miletus

Also found in: Wikipedia

0.01 sec.

Ancient Greek idealist philosopher of the fourth century B.C., representative of the Megarian school.

Eubulides, in accordance with the ideas of the idealist school, tried to prove the falsity of sense perception of real things and phenomena. Thus the truly real is not something material and individual, but only general and ideal. To sup-port this argument Eubulides, in the tradition of Zeno of Elea, proposed a number of paradoxes, including “The Liar,” “Covered,” and “The Sorites” (The Heap). Some of them grasp the dialectic of quantity and quality (which was pointed out by Hegel; see Soch., vol. 10, Moscow, 1932, pp. 95-102).
