Eleaticism
Eleaticism was based on the idea that there is only one thing that is real and true, and that is Being. Being is something that does not change, move, or have parts. It is always the same and always whole. Everything else that we see or feel is not real, but only an illusion. Eleaticism also said that we can know Being by using our reason, not by using our senses. Reason tells us what is true and clear, while senses tell us what is false and confusing. Eleaticism also said that Being, thought, and expression are the same thing. This means that what we think and say must be about Being, and nothing else.
