Although this may seem obvious, there have been some philosophers who have denied the concept of metamorphosis, such as Plato's predecessor Parmenides and later Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus, and perhaps some Eastern philosophers.
Kuigi see võib tunduda ilmselge, on siiski olnud mõned filosoofid, kes on eitanud metamorfoosi kontseptsiooni, näiteks Platoni eelkäija Parmenides ja hilisem Kreeka filosoof Sextus Empiricus ning arvatavasti ka mõned Idamaa filosoofid.
