HERACLITUS Chapter II What precisely is the key-note of Heraclitus' thinking, where has he found his starting-point, or what are the grand lines of his philosophy? For if his thought is not developed in the severe systematic method of later thinkers, if it does not come down to us in large streams of subtle reasoning and opulent imagery like Plato's but in detached aphoristic sentences aimed like arrows at truth, still they are not really scattered philosophical reflections. There is an inter-relation, an inter-dependence; they all start logically from his fundamental view of existence itself and go back to it for their constant justification. As in Indian, so in Greek philosophy the first question for thought was the problem of the One and the Many. We see everywhere a multiplicity of things and beings; is it real or only phenomenal or practical, maya, vyavahara Still, one question remains to be resolved before we can move a step farther. Since there is an eternal One, what is that? Is it Force, Mind, Matter, Soul? or, since Matter has many principles, is it some one principle of Matter which has evolved all the rest or which by some power of its own activity has changed into all that we see? The old Greek thinkers conceived of cosmic Substance as possessed of four elements, omitting or not having arrived at the fifth, Ether, in which Indian analysis found the first and original principle. In seeking the nature of the original substance they fixed then on one or other of these four as the primordial Nature, one finding it in Air, another in Water, while Heraclitus, as we have seen, describes or symbolises the source and reality of all things as an ever-living Fire. "No man or god", he says, "has created the universe, but ever there was and is and will be the ever-living Fire."

44. "Heraclitus' Theory Of The Psyche" By Christopher D. Green heraclitus Theory of the Psyche. christo@yorku.ca. heraclitus was the most important philosopher between Pythagoras and Parmenides. http://www.yorku.ca/christo/papers/heraclit.htm

Heraclitus' Theory of the Psyche Christopher D. Green Department of Psychology York University christo@yorku.ca Heraclitus was the most important philosopher between Pythagoras and Parmenides. He lived in the city of Ephesus, of which substantial ruins remain still on the western coast of present-day Turkey. The region was then called Ionia. His exact dates are not known. McKirahan (1994) reports them as being 540-480 BC. Unlike Xenophanes and Pythagoras, he did not flee the Persian invasion of Ionia (546 BC) for Italy; he survived it, and even flourished under it. As with all other early pre-Socratics, none of Heraclitus' original writings remain, although he was said to have written, as was traditional for philosophers of his time, a treatise generally on nature ( physis ). What is known of Heraclitus' philosophy is contained in more than 100 fragmentary mentionings of him by his successors. Many of these fragments are obscure, enigmatic, and even bizarre. Diogenes Laertius, a biographer who lived about 300 AD, recounted a story (repeated by Barnes, 1987, pp. 57-58) that Socrates, upon reading a copy of Heraclitus' work (allegedly given to him by the great tragic playwright, Euripides), said "What I understood was good.... But it would take a Delian diver to get to the bottom of it." Heraclitus frequently asserted the unity of opposites: "the road up and down is one and the same road" (DK22 B60); "while changing, it rests" (DK22 B84a); "in the case of a circle, beginning and end are the same" (DK22 B103); "cold things become warm, a warm thing becomes cold..." (DK22B 126); and perhaps strangest of all, "immortals are mortals, mortals immortals: living their death, dying their life" (DK22 B62).

HERACLITUS The Complete Philosophical Fragments William Harris, Prof. Em. Middlebury College First, let me proceed with background material on this amazing thinker, then a translation of all the fragments, and finally the translated text againalong with a new, exploratory commentary. Heraclitus was born at Ephesus of aristocratic parentage around 540 B.C. and lived until 475 B.C. We know almost nothing finite about his life, except that he was early known as difficult of comprehension, hence the nickname "The Dark One" or in Greek skoteinos. There is no absolute evidence for a Book of his philosophical ideas, and the hundred or so "Fragments", which are quoted from later sources, seem to derive from his personal Sayings or Counsels, much in the manner of Pythagoras' Symbola. Strangely many of the cited fragments come from Christian sources, bent on disproving or ridiculing Heraclitus' words, a bad effort which has the good effect of giving us a few more of Heraclitus' precious insights. In another paper on Pythagoras, I have discussed the Sayings or Counsels which have had almost no recognition in the world of Western scholarship. I aimed to get a better sense of their import by positing a monastic order in Croton perhaps similar in function to the Zen monasteries of the period after the 12 th c. A.D., feeling that the Japanese data may shed some indirect light on the 6th c. B.C. Pythagorean school. But in dealing with Heraclitus the situation is entirely different. He had a strong and long-lasting effect on Greek philosophy in the ancient period, and has been commented and discussed fervently in modern times, almost to the point of obscuring the text we are starting with.

46. Philosophy - Presocratics: Heraclitus heraclitus (535475 BC). heraclitus was a Presocratic Greek philosopher of Ephesus, who lived about 535-475 BC. The date of heraclitus http://www.archaeonia.com/philosophy/presocratics/heraclitus.htm

HERACLITUS (535-475 B.C.) H eraclitus was a Presocratic Greek philosopher of Ephesus , who lived about 535-475 B.C. . The date of Heraclitus is roughly fixed by his reference in the past tense to Hekataios Pythagoras , and Xenophanes (fr. 16), and by the fact that Parmenides appears to allude to him in turn (fr. 6). This means that he wrote early in the fifth century BC . He was an Ephesian noble , and had a sovereign contempt for the mass of mankind. He lived during the time of the first Persian domination over his native city. As one of the last of the family of Androclus , the descendant of Codrus , who had founded the colony of Ephesus , Heraclitus had certain honorary regal privileges, which he renounced in favor of his brother. He likewise declined an invitation of King Darius to visit his court. He was an adherent of the aristocracy , and when, after the defeat of the Persians , the democratic party came into power, he withdrew in ill-humor to a secluded estate in the country, and gave himself up entirely to his studies. In his later years he wrote a philosophical treatise, which he deposited in the temple of Artemis , making it a condition that it should not be published untill after his death. He was buried in the marketplace of Ephesus, and for several centuries later the Ephesians continued to engrave his image on their coins.

MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of People He Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich (1770-1831) The most important representative of classical German philosophy; he represented an objective idealism ; a brilliant investigator of the laws of dialectic, which he was the first consciously to apply. An understanding of the influence Hegel had on Marx and Engels, and their opinions of Hegel: Engels wrote in his review of Marx's The Critique of Political Economy "The Hegelian method, on the other hand, was in its existing form quite inapplicable. It was essentially idealist and the main point in this case was the elaboration of a world outlook that was more materialist than any previous one. Hegel's method took as its point of departure pure thought, whereas here the starting point was to be inexorable facts.A method which, according to its own admission, "came from nothing, through nothing, to nothing" [Hegel, Science of Logic , Part I, Section 2] was by no means appropriate here in this form. Nevertheless, of all the available logical material, it was the only piece which could be used, at least, as a starting-point. It had not been criticised, nor overcome; not one of the opponents of the great dialectician had been able to make a breach in its proud structure; it fell into oblivion, because the Hegelian school had not the slightest notion what to do with it. It was, therefore, above all necessary to subject the Hegelian method to through-going criticism. Phenomenlogy, Esthetics, History of Philosophy

Heraclitus (6th century BC) Born in Ephesus (today's Turkey), Heraclitus is also called the "Weeping Philosopher" because he used to sit in Ephesos and cry over mans feebleness and foolishness. Heraclitus believed that the world was in a constant state of change, and his statement Ta Panta Rei ("Everything Floats") is his best known quote. He also illustrated his belief in everythings fluxuality by saying you cannot step in the same river twice. He meant that change was the only true reality. Heraclitus also said that fire was the primordial source of matter, and he occupied himself with ethics and theology, and is also considered to ave founded the Greek metaphysics. He attacked the popular religion and its concepts and ceremonies. The philosopher ended his days as a hermit, trying to live of the grass on the ground. When this failed he tried to cure himself by sitting on a pile of warm manure, where he died. Webmistress V.E.K. Sandels

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Heraclitus Heraclitus of Ephesus (Greek: Herakleitos ) (about 475 B.C ), was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher . He disagreed with Thales Anaximander , and Pythagoras about the nature of the ultimate substance and claimed instead that everything is derived from the Greek Classical element fire, rather than from air, water, or earth. This led to the belief that change is real, and stability illusory. For Heraclitus everything is "in flux." He is famous for saying: "No man can cross the same river twice, because neither the man nor the river are the same." Heraclitus' view that an explanation of change was foundational to any theory of nature was strongly opposed by Parmenides , who argued that change is an illusion and that everything is fundamentally static. Only fragments of Heraclitus' writings have been found. He appears to have taught by means of small, oracular aphorisms meant to encourage thinking based on natural law and reason.

Ancient Greek philosopher, perhaps best remembered for his famous poetic metaphor of the river - "no one steps into the same river twice". Heraclitus seems to have written only one work ( On Nature? ), which apparently consisted of series of epigrammatic remarks. The book was deposited in the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. Although Heraclitus's book is lost, about 120 short fragments have survived in the texts of later authors, who quoted him, often in order to scorn his ideas. " The Ephesians deserve to have all their youth put to death, and all those who are younger still banished from their city, inasmuch as they have banished Hermodorus, the best man among them, saying, "Let no one of us be pre-eminently good; and if there be any such person, let him go to another city and another people." (from The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers Little is know of Heraclitus's life. Due to his cryptic, oracular style he had a reputation for obscurity. Socrates complained that "it needs a sponge-diver to bring up the truth from those depths." Heraclitus was born in Ephesus in Ionia (western Asia Minor) into an influential family. His father, Bloson, was a member of the highest local aristocracy. His hereditary class privileges Heraclitus renounced in favor of his brother.

OF DEMOCRITUS AND HERACLITUS. All motion discovers us: the very same soul of Caesar, that made itself so conspicuous in marshaling and commanding the battle of Pharsalia, was also seen as solicitous and busy in the softer affairs of love and leisure. A man makes a judgment of a horse, not only by seeing him when he is showing off his paces, but by his very walk, nay, and by seeing him stand in the stable. Democritus and Heraclitus were two philosophers, of whom the first, finding human condition ridiculous and vain, never appeared abroad but with a jeering and laughing countenance; whereas Heraclitus commiserating that same condition of ours, appeared always with a sorrowful look, and tears in his eyes: Alter Ridebat, quoties a limine moverat unum Protuleratque pedem; flebat contrarius alter. Of the same strain was Statilius' answer, when Brutus courted him into the conspiracy against Caesar; he was satisfied that the enterprise was just, but he did not think mankind worthy of a wise man's concern; according to the doctrine of Hegesias, who said, that a wise man ought to do nothing but for himself, forasmuch as he only was worthy of it: and to the saying of Theodorus, that it was not reasonable a wise man should hazard himself for his country, and endanger wisdom for a company of fools.

About the writer Stefan Stenudd Cosmos of the Ancients The Greek Philosophers on Myth and Cosmology Heraclitus eraclitus (flourished circa 502 BC), famous for the expression "panta rhei", all things flow, and for his cryptic way of expressing his thoughts, as well as his consistently bad mood and obnoxious comments, thought that Homer "ought by rights to be ejected from the lists and thrashed" for his weak understanding of cosmological matters, and no higher was his opinion on Hesiod: For very many people Hesiod is (their) teacher. They are certain he knew a great number of things – he who continually failed to recognize (even) day and night (for what they are)! For they are one. Hesiod said that night "produced" day, whereas to Heraclitus there is no more difference between the two than the lack of sunlight in the former, but also – bearing in mind both the poisonous tongue and delight in innuendo of Heraclitus – this fundamental misconception of Hesiod would be a way of stating that not even this he got right, thereby portraying him as mentally little more than a child even among children. The worship of the gods he found outright mad, where people believed themselves to be purified with the blood from sacrifice, "as if one who had stepped into mud should wash himself off with mud", and that was not all:

And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest, A handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest, Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake; For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take. William Johnson Cory A poem that has 'classic' written all over it - the language, the images capture the feel of the original perfectly.

Notes: Heraclitus: Greek philosopher (ca. 540-ca. 400 BC), pre-Socratic founder of an Ionian school, whose principal tenet was change in all things. Cory translates an epigram of Callimachus, which in A. W. Mair's translation of the Greek is as follows: "One told me, Heracleitus, of thy death and brought me to tears, and I remembered how often we two in talking put the sun to rest. Thou, methinks, Halicarnasian friend, art ashes long and long ago; but thy nightingales live still, whereon Hades, snatcher of all things, shall not lay his hand" Carian: of Caria, part of southwest Asia Minor.
