[MD] Parmenides the Taoist

[Case]

[Case]
Whether or not Parmenides could be considered a Taoist I can not say. Nor
can I comment on the nature of the dialectic but I believe I can say with
some assurance the Lao Tsu was not a Parmenidian. Lao Tsu could however be
classified as a Heraclitian. A couple of quotes from Heraclitus should
illustrate the point:

"By cosmic rule, as day yields night, so winter summer, war peace, plenty
famine. All things change. Air penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the
joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense."

"Men do not know how that which is drawn in different directions harmonizes
with itself. The harmonious structure of the world depends upon opposite
tension like that of the bow and the lyre." 

I could easily be mistaken but wasn't Parmenides' claim that the world is
still and unchanging and that change is an illusion. Wan't his student
Zeno's paradox supposed to prove that movement and change are impossible?
