Prompt: Suppose you agree with Heraclitus that change is real, but wish to support Parmenides’s position that we know only what is definite. How would you argue that this position is rational? More specifically, how would you have to define change in order to support this position? Does this definition of change explain the phenomena of change in the world as we experience it, e.g., the experience of a tree growing or a person learning? Why or why not?
