list price: US$19.95 -- used & new: US$11.08 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0940262983 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description The book includes new translations of all the essential fragments. Geldard, through his exploration of Heraclitus, shows us, "The more that human beings openly and humbly seek higher knowledge, the more they develop the power to perceive it, until finally they penetrate to the hidden universal order. The result of this penetration is knowledge of the Logos, that 'which directs all things through all things.' The acquisition of this knowledge is not an event; it is a stance in the world. It is Being in its fullness." Customer Reviews (5)

I disagree
After all these years, still a great guide to early Greek
needless to say, it was all "Greek" to me... I ordered "The Heraclitus Seminar", perhaps naively, in order to gain a better understanding of Heraclitus and his Metaphysics--I came away from the ordeal completely dumbfounded. This is partially my own fault--I knew going in that Heidegger makes for difficult reading, and that his precipitous works are, almost without exception, extremely abstruse. As such, his books require great dedication and patience. This, I was prepared for. However, I came to an impasse with the book almost immediately. This resulted from the multitude of passages that were written, within the body of the text, in Attic Greek--with *no* translations. (no kidding) This one is better left for the later grad students and/or their profs--that is, unless you happen to be an extremely patient novice, who can read Greek without a lexicon, and who has a penchant for Heideggarian analysis of the pre-Socratics.

Editorial Review Product Description The Phoenix Pre-Socratic series is designed for modern students of the Pre-Socratic philosophers.This volume provides the Greek text of Heraclitus with a new, facing page translation together with a commentary outlining the main problems of interpretation and the philosophical issues raised by Heraclitus' work.The volume also contains an English translation of substantial material from the ancient testimonia concerning Heraclitus' life and teaching, and offers selective bibliographic guidance. While much of the commentary follows lines of interpretation that have won general acceptance, it differs from many in its claim that the logos of which Heraclitus speaks in fragments 1, 2 and 50 means, essentially, 'statement.'This statement, uttered in words by Heraclitus, reflects that statement everlastingly uttered by the cosmos itself, which descriptively tells of how things are and prescriptively lays don patterns of cosmic activity that serve as the basis for human laws (fragment 114).

A Tragedy of Translation
Scholastically Incorrect But Philosophically Satisfying
Heraclitus, Fragments
Poets Make the Best Translators Additional thoughts: 1. This a beautifully produced edition with the Greek on the left and Haxton's fine poetry on the right.As usual, I skipped the foreward and notes preferring to commune directly with the Master rather than through the medium of a posturing chorus of academic factotums. 2. The information age was supposed to witness the twilight of the great age of printing.How wrong.It is a miracle that in this age Viking is publishing a side by side Greek and English version of a book two and half millennia old!Perhaps the great age of the Printed Book is only now dawning.
Possibly an "E" for "effort"..... maybe I'm not degrading this merely because it is a coffee table book, i'm attacking it because it is in bad taste and adds absolutely no fresh perspective to Heraclitus' fragments or his life.I suggest looking at, instead, Luciano DeCrescenzo's "The History of Greek Philosophy Volume I:The Pre-Socratics" for a lively and interesting read (including biographical details). "The Collected Wisdom..." is a hard cover as well, which makes not a lot of sense (other than the nice presentation) considering the length of the book.You could happily buy a book with all the fragments for nearly the same price or cheaper.No doubt the reason why Amazon knocked $6 off the original price was because there were too many unopened boxes collecting dust.Let the bookworms eat these ones. The last thing we need is for the words of a man like Heraclitus to end up on bad robot-rock album covers or as band names (the same fate that Nietzsche now, regretfully, seems to be suffering from).It would seem that Roger Von Oech has decided to try his hand at the craps table as well with "Expect the Unexpected (Or You Won't Find It): A Creativity Tool Based on the Ancient Wisdom of Heraclitus".Are people really so dumb that they need these pre-digested, refined, books full of preservatives to inspire them?I am all for more simplified introductions, but if that means pandering and studying current trends, then what you'll always get is an ugly bastardization.The whole point of philosophy is to make people think!! And yes, i realize that basically every translator of any kind of philosophy (regardless of time or place) uses "God" as a substitute for the original thinker's conception and belief system.I would call it Christian revisionism ... though it may also be because most translators cannot give their readers the benefit of the doubt and compromise their writings by pandering or making the work more digestible.Or simply because so few can translate from a more neutral standpoint or stand outside their religion for the sake of the writing. a.n. p.s. If anyone knows of any good translations of pre-Christian/non-Christian European philosophy which does not suffer from the aforementioned peccadillos, i would be interested to find out more about them ...

Editorial Review Product Description Von Oech uses the epigrams as creativity exercises--accompanied by mental puzzles, anecdotes, questions, and punchy footnotes--to demonstrate that Heraclitus's 2,500-year-old creative insights have aged well. With his whimsical wand, von Oech transforms the epigram "A Donkey prefers garbage to gold" into an exploration of values. He uses Heraclitus's observation that "A wonderful harmony is created when we join together the seemingly unconnected" to examine the use of metaphors in understanding problems. When Heraclitus observes that "Dogs bark at what they don't understand," Von Oech crafts a meditation about criticism. Executives, students, teachers, and parents will find an exciting and entertaining map for changing thought patterns, tolerating ambiguity, confounding expectations, and searching for hidden meanings. --Barbara Mackoff Customer Reviews (17)

9. The Way of Oblivion: Heraclitus and Kafka (Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature) by David Schur | |

list price: US$15.95 -- used & new: US$12.00 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0674948033 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description If Heraclitus is one of our most ancient writers, Kafka seems especially modern. They share in a struggle between disclosure and obscurity that is perhaps as old as writing itself. In this lucid and engaging volume, David Schur takes us from philosophy to literature and back in a sustained examination of a fundamental philosophical metaphor: the way or path of method. Through close readings of texts by Heraclitus, Plato, Heidegger, Blanchot, and Kafka, he follows the development of a rhetorical commonplace into a distinctly Heraclitean paradox of method, concluding that Kafka's account of the way beyond mortal existence renews Heraclitus's emphasis on oblivion in the search for truth.

Editorial Review Product Description As with other pre-Socratics, his writings only survive in fragments quoted by other authors.He disagreed with Thales, Anaximander, and Pythagoras about the nature of theultimate substance, but instead claimed that the nature of everything is changeitself; he uses fire as a metaphor rather than his solution to material monism.This led to the belief that change is real, and stability illusory. |
