Posted 8 Jun 2006 · Report post Is is spelled Xeno? for #23 Oh, I didn't mean to mislead with my remark to Patrick. It's not Zeno, no matter how it's spelled. Hint: Think earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Jun 2006 · Report post I've had by guesses for #23, and it never occurred to me that there was some likeness of him, but (for someone else) maybe Thales is a good guess, i.e. earlier than Zeno and alphabetically after Spinoza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
