through and through, though he applies Zeno’s paradoxes of space to time instead: if, in the present moment

(B) in which Alice is larger than she was in a previous moment (A), Alice measures X, in the immediately
subsequent moment of her growth (C) she will become larger than she is now (at B) but smaller than she will
be in an even-further moment of her growth (D). Very well. Yet, firstly, Alice becomes bigger and smaller in
two different senses. Secondly, ‘smaller’ and ‘bigger’ do not become in turn. It is only by substituting
‘nonsense’ for ‘sense’ (cf. ibid., pp. 66–73), it is only by dismantling the space of meaningfulness secured by
τὸ ἀγαθόν that Deleuze’s reasoning seems to stand – and yet it is self-refuting! Notice, in this respect, how
Plato not only evokes in Phdr. 261d Zeno’s deceptive way of reasoning, but also refers to him in Phd., 261d
as someone who ‘argues so very artfully that the same things appear to his listeners to be both similar and
dissimilar, one and many, still and in motion’ not only at the same time but in the same sense. It is against
their admixture that τὸ ἀγαθόν’s prevents.
