Publisher's Synopsis
Zeno is where the perception of physical distance split from abstract distance. Zeno, and for that matter philosophers throughout the past two thousand five hundred years, were not aware of what it was they were on the verge of understanding. The understanding eluding philosophers was not to reveal itself until after Einstein and his concept of 'relative' time was verbalized. Even then, even with the concept of 'relative' time being verbalized, the potential understanding regarding the relationship of the individual, God and 'acting within' was not to be immediately understood. And why would understanding the relationship of the individual, God, and 'acting within' not be immediately understood when Einstein revealed the concept of relative time? It was not understood because modern day philosophers had proclaimed the demise of Metaphysics and having done so, buried Metaphysics deep within the most inaccessible realms of the philosophical subconscious. With the virtual ostracism of metaphysics from serious academic debate, the tool needed to understand the concept of individuality/the individual, the whole/God, and action, process/reality/being (vb) was to languish until the time when Metaphysics was once again brought forth from the dark sub-sub conscious realm of philosophy. With the banishment of metaphysics to the far fringes of philosophy, the understanding regarding the role of the physical and the abstract as well as the understanding regarding the interrelationship between the physical and the abstract not only remain in a state of confusion but even more disconcerting, the existence of such an interrelationship is not recognized as a significant aspect of the 'larger' system. It is this state of confusion which will be specifically addressed within this tractate.
