Heraclitus 500 BC - 500 BC pre-Socratic philosopher, famous for his obscure writing style HERACLITUS (c. 540—475 B.C.), Greek philosopher, was born at Ephesus of distinguished parentage. Of his early life and education we know nothing; from the contempt with which he spoke of all his fellow-philosophers and of his fellow-citizens as a whole we may gather that he regarded himself as self-taught and a pioneer of wisdom. So intensely aristocratic (hence his nickname, in English, “he who rails at the people”) was his temperament that he declined to exercise the regal-hieratic office which was hereditary in his family, and presented it to his brother. It is probable, however, that he di... [ read entire biography Source External Publication These essays offer analysis of the author's life and works.

82. Heraclitus’ Maxim Still Holds True: Character Is Destiny By Terrence Moore heraclitus’ Maxim Still Holds True Character is Destiny Editorial February 2004 by Terrence Moore. Young people may not realize http://www.ashbrook.org/publicat/oped/moore/04/character.html

SEARCH Home No Left Turns: The Ashbrook Center Blog Ashbrook Columnists Robert Alt Andrew E. Busch John C. Eastman Christopher Flannery ... Other Sites of Interest Character is Destiny Editorial February 2004 by: Terrence Moore Young people may not realize the extent to which their future depends on how others judge their character. But they will learn soon enough. Certainly every employer will want to know about a person’s character before hiring him. Someone who is responsible for a business, who has put his blood, toil, tears, and sweat into the growth of a company, does not want to give the keys to the front door and the cash register and all of the company secrets to a person who cheats, steals, or is lazy. Before hiring someone, consequently, an employer will ask for character references. Character references cannot be your buddies. They must be people in positions of authority: other employers, teachers, professors. The more sensitive the job, the more the employer will look into your character. When I was trying to get into the Marine Corps, an officer put me through a searching interview whose purpose was to determine the nature of my character. Among the questions he asked was, "Have you ever used illegal drugs?" Thus, the decisions that you make in early youth, while at a party or "hanging out" with friends, will have consequences later in life. Applying to the F.B.I. would be even more difficult. When doing background checks, the Bureau tracks down your college professors, your high school teachers, neighbors, and anyone you have ever worked for. The personnel departments of the major innovative companies are not much less thorough. They cannot afford to hire someone who would sell an idea to a rival company. They will not pay six-figure salaries to people who always have excuses for not getting their work done.

84. Cancer And Wisdom Of The Body: Chaos And Heraclitus Some, like Paramenides, maintained that the world is static, while others, like heraclitus, regarded change as the essence of nature. http://www.what-is-cancer.com/papers/ChaosHeraclitus.html

The Cancer Journal - Volume 6, Number 3 (May-June 1993) editorial The sixth century BC is regarded as dawn of different philosophies which appeared in several countries without any direct connection with one another: Greece, China, Iran and the land of Israel. Until then, Nature was regarded as the work of God. "God holds the beginning and end, as well the middle, of all existing things" was an ancient saying cited by Plato (1). The first Greek philosophers, Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, lived in the town of Miletus in Ionia. They sought for explanations of the natural world within the world itself. What is the primary stuff that constitutes nature, and how do changes in it bring about its various appearances? The philosophers and their followers laid the foundation of modern science and from our point of view may be regarded as genuine scientists who studied and analyzed simple observations in a new way. Instead of asking: who is responsible for the occurrences, and: what is their purpose, they asked what is their underlying nature and: how does it change? Some, like Paramenides, maintained that the world is static, while others, like Heraclitus, regarded change as the essence of nature. Heraclitus regarded change for its own sake as the most basic ontological fact. But this is not the same change as that conceived by modern physics which regards it as an epiphenomenon of a permanent entity, e.g., a change in temperature which results from a change in molecular velocities, while the molecules themselves remain unchanged. To Heraclitus change embraces all observed qualities of the thing as a whole. Like the continuous change of the flickering flame. There is nothing permanent in a fire.

85. Heraclitus - InformationBlast heraclitus Information Blast. heraclitus. This led to the belief that change is real, and stability illusory. For heraclitus everything is in flux. . http://www.informationblast.com/Heraclitus.html

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.

Heraclitus in Quantum Lightings by Doug Renselle We offer a series of Heraclitus' (~540-480 b.c.; author of On the Whole , now lost) quotes and fragments (apparently, latest known total count is ~130 quotes and fragments attributed to Heraclitus) brought forward in history roughly 2500 years and paraphrased quantum comtextually in Quantonics' Qualogos "Panta rhei." All things change. " The only absolute is change [quantum flux]." Simply, in Quantonics, "Flux is crux." "All law [all reality] must change, indeed, as the logos itself is absolute change." "Quantum flux offers nature's moral judgment." "Paradoxically, we are happiest when we change." We are happiest when we are quantum real "Most of us do not use our individual capabilities to be aware of quantum reality, instead we somnambulate our classical caves of Demos reason."

December 2003 Common Presence Common presence: these two words, translating a poem and an anthology by Ren© Char, indicate what I would like to be able to think. Char’s anthology Commune Pr©sence , published in 1964, includes no records of the dates of the poems it collects in eight main clusters; there is no chronological ordering here. To what does its title refer? To an experience shared by poet and reader – to an experience of the poem that allows a presence to be shared. One cannot help but be reminded of Heraclitus, always an important presence in Char’s poetry, for whom the logos is said to be common . Common presence: does this refer to Char’s version of the logos which maintains itself beyond what we take to be opposites, but which Heraclitus tells us are always in struggle and interchange? Char's poems are shards, fragments. Each poem is comprised of autonomous phrases – one leaps from phrase to phrase. There is not harmony here – or if we are to use this word, it would in accordance with Heraclitus, for whom

PHYSICISTS ASTRONOMER, PHYSICIST HERACLEITUS OF EPHESUS (fl. 540 - 480 BC) Life Little is known of Heracleitus, beyond the facts that he was a native of Ephesus, that his father's name was Blyson, and that he studied the works of Homer, Xenophanes, Thales, Pythagoras and Hecataeus. He is cited by Stobaeus. Work His major work is: "On nature": 129 fragments of this work (written in 478 BC) survive, mainly incorporated into the works of later writers. Expanding on the teachings of earlier philosophers, principally those of the Milesian School (Thales, Anaximander, Anaxixmenes), Heracleitus held fire to be the primary substance of the universe, transmuting into many different forms without ever losing its identity. He claimed that "all things are in a state of change", and that matter is created by "compression out of energy". His writings embrace ethics, philosophy, physics and astronomy. Fragments of his work are found in Plato, Aristotle and Theophrastus. Contact the Technology Museum
