Extractions: [Ephesus, around 500 BC] Heraclitus lived around 500 BC in the city of Ephesus in Ionia, Asia Minor. He became famous as the "flux and fire" philosopher for his proverbial utterance: "All things are flowing." Coming from an eminent aristocratic family, Heraclitus is the first nobleman in the cabinet of Greek philosophers. He introduced important new perspectives into Greek thought and produced a book of which his followers said that it is hard to read. "They say that Euripides gave Socrates a copy of Heraclitus' book and asked him what he thought of it. He replied: "What I understand is splendid; and I think what I don't understand is so too - but it would take a Delian diver to get to the bottom of it." (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Philosophers, II 22). In spite of the difficulties, Heraclitus was admired by his contemporaries for the theory of flux, which influenced many generations of philosophers after him. Judging from his writings, Heraclitus doesn't appear to be a complaisant character. Not only does he condemn all of his philosophic predecessors, but his contempt for mankind leads him to think that dullness and stupidity are innate human traits. He repeatedly lets fly at mankind in general and in particular scolds at those who do not share his opinion. Here is a taste of it: "The Ephesians would do well to hang themselves, every grown man of them, and leave the city to the beardless lads; for they have to cast out Hermorodus, the best man among them [...]" There is only Teutamus being saved from despise of whom he says that he is "of more account than the rest." Investigating the reason for the praise one finds that Teutamus had said that "most men are bad."

heraclitus' Philosophy heraclitus' METAPHYSICS heraclitus was concernedto answer the Milesian monists Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes.
http://www.thephilosophyguide.com/philosophers/heraclitus.htm

Extractions: Heraclitus lived in the town of Ephesus, in Ionia, just north of Miletus. He probably lived from approximately 540 to about 480 B.C. We know very little about Heraclitus' life; partly for the same reasons that we know little about any one person from that period, and partly because what early historians have written about him consists predominantly in dubious embellishment. Heraclitus was concerned to answer the Milesian monists: Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. These three philosophers, at Thales' lead, attempted to explain the world around them in terms of one underlying stuff. Thales thought this stuff was water; Anaximander postulated a mysterious infinite substance he called apeiron ; Anaximenes reduced everything to air. With these monist attempts, however, questions began to arise. Specifically, if everything is really one stuff, how do we make sense of the fact that we observe a multiplicity of things in the world? And if all these many things are really made of the same stuff, how can we explain that some things change into other things? It is with these questions, Heraclitus was concerned.

Heraclitus of Ephesus (about 475 B.C. pre-Socratic Greek philosopher , disagreed with Thales Anaximander , and Pythagoras about the nature of the ultimate substance. He 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.

Heraclitus Quotations
heraclitus Quotations. Memorable Quotations Philosophers of Western Civilizationat Amazon Corpses are more fit to be thrown out than is dung.
http://www.memorablequotations.com/heraclitus.htm

Extractions: at Amazon Corpses are more fit to be thrown out than is dung. It is hard to contend against one's heart's desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul. To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do. You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you. Change alone is unchanging. Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. The world, an entity out of everything, was created by neither gods nor men, but was, is and will be eternally living fire, regularly becoming ignited and regularly becoming extinguished. God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger. History is a child building a sand-castle by the sea, and that child is the whole majesty of man's power in the world. Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it. Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others' death and dying the others' life.

http://www.abu.nb.ca/Courses/GrPhil/Heraclitus.htm

Extractions: 1. Introduction Born in the sixth century BCE, Heraclitus was an Ephesian, who, by all accounts, was not a terribly social creature. Diogenes Laertius reports that Heraclitus refused to participate in public life in Ephesus, heaping scorn on his fellow citizens and the city's constitution; he eventually "became a hater of mankind" ( misanthropesas ), and withdrew from Ephesus, wandering in the mountains and eating grass and other plants. Only when he became ill did he return to Ephesus, where he died of the illness that drove back to the city ( Lives , 9. 2-4). Many of his sayings provide evidence of Heraclitus's contempt for human kind. Fr. 29, for example, says, "The best choose one thing in place of all else, 'everlasting' glory among mortals; but the majority are glutted like cattle" (Clement, Strom. V. 59, 5). Fittingly, Hippolytus describes him as follows, "But Heraclitus, a natural philosopher of Ephesus, surrendered himself to universal grief, condemning the ignorance of the entire of life, and of all men; nay, commiserating the (very) existence of mortals, for he asserted that he himself knew everything, whereas the rest of mankind nothing" ( Ref.

http://home.hetnet.nl/~heraclitus/heraclitus_efeze.html

Extractions: In de eerste plaats omdat Heraclitus de eerste Griekse filosoof was, die met rationele middelen werkte, die -onafhankelijk van het bovennatuurlijke- gebaseerd waren op zijn eigen ervaring. Heraclitus keek om zich heen en zocht in zichzelf naar antwoorden die zich aan hem opdrongen. Dat hij hierdoor los van anderen kwam te staan, die veel meer aansloten bij voorgangers, zoals tot op zekere hoogte ook Parminedes deed, spreekt mij aan..... Zijn meest bekend geworden uitspraak Panta Rhei, alles stroomt, kan gezien worden als de basis voor het hedendaags Europees denken. De gedachte dat het universum in een voortdurend proces van verandering is en dat er een onderliggende oorzaak of reden moet zijn voor deze verandering, een onveranderlijke geldige uitleg (oftewel Logos), kun je terugzien in ons wetenschappelijk, economisch en zelfs politieke denken. Op dat wat in dezelfde rivier gaat, stroomt steeds weer ander water toe... oftewel de wereld verandert steeds...maar de rivier blijft hetzelfde. Een andere uitspraak geeft nog beter zijn denken weer: God is dag en nacht, winter en zomer, oorlog en vrede, verzadiging en honger. Hij verandert zoals vuur verandert wanneer daar geurstoffen aan worden toegevoegd en krijgt een naam naar aanleiding van iedere geurstof.....

http://www.mirapuri-enterprises.com/Mirapuri-Verlag/English/Heraclitus.htm

Extractions: 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."

http://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/221hera.html

Extractions: Electronic Text by Flask at Grove, University of Florida.. Fragments Not on my authority, but on that of truth, it is wise for you to accept the fact that all things are one. This truth, though it always exists, men do not understand, as well before they hear it as when they hear it for the first time. For although all things happen in accordance with this truth, men seem unskilled indeed when they make trial of words and matters such as I am setting forth, in my effort to discriminate each thing according to its nature, and to tell what its state is. But other men fail to notice what they do when awake, in the same manner that they forget what they do when asleep. Those who hear without the power to understand are like deaf men; the proverb holds true of them 'Present, they are absent.' Eyes and ears are bad witnesses for men, since their souls lack understanding. Most men do not understand such things as they are wont to meet with; nor by learning do they come to know them, though they think they do.

Extractions: Heraclitus claims that sense perception alone cannot reveal the truth about things, for they are not really what they seem to be. Thought is required to reveal that what seems stable is really constantly changingthat what seems to be a thing is but a slice of a process. Heraclitus invents the distinction between appearance and reality . Perceptual objects are not the real entities constituting the natural world; they are only the ways those entities appear to us. Our perceptions are the effects of causes which we do not directly perceive and which we can know only by inference. (Does the image on the movie screen or the television monitor exist ? Is it a real thing in the world? Do we exist or are we more like a movie or a television programprocesses seeming to be entities only because of the abstractive character of our experience of ourselves?) Parmenides takes note of Heraclitus' observations about sense perception but disagrees that the mind could ever reconstruct the truth out of the sensory data. There is no one way our sensations can be manipulated to yield a single, coherent story about what really exits. Therefore any single way in which they are assembled will at best be an
