http://www.yorku.ca/christo/papers/heraclit.htm

Extractions: 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).

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. There isn't a whole lot I can say about it - the poem and the original should both speak for themselves. 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.

Extractions: Executive summary: Fire-centric theory of the universe Greek philosopher, 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 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 did occasionally intervene in the affairs of the city at the period when the rule of Persia had given place to autonomy; it is said that he compelled the usurper Melancomas to abdicate. From the lonely life he led, and still more from the extreme profundity of his philosophy and his contempt for mankind in general, he was called the "Dark Philosopher", or the "Weeping Philosopher", in contrast to Democritus , the "Laughing Philosopher."

Extractions: Miscellaneous Encyclopedia Articles by Anthony F. Beavers Heraclitus of Ephesus Heraclitus of Ephesus (fl. 500-480 BC), also known as "the Riddler" and "the Obscure," was the eldest son of a leading aristocratic family. He was a loner with a general distaste for mobs. Consequently, he had no pupils, though a small book that he wrote had a rich tradition of its own and attracted many followers; the Stoics recognized it as the source of their doctrines. All that survives of this book is a series of quotations that scholars have been able to extract from other sources see the Fragments of Heraclitus and that reveal an enigmatic and oracular style, perhaps adopted by Heraclitus to protect its true contents from commoners. Owing to its obscurity, the book engendered many anecdotes about its author, most of them intending to malign him, and so it is difficult to know much about his life and character that is reliable. It is equally difficult to discern the details of his true thought. Aristotle tells us about three of Heraclitus' ideas; the first is that, like earlier Milesian philosophers, he located the first principle of all things in a natural element, in this case, fire. (See

Heraclitus, Sri Aurobindo
What precisely is the keynote of heraclitus thinking, where has he found his starting-point, or what are the grand lines of his philosophy?
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."

Heraclitus
Of heraclitus we have about 140 fragments, some of dubious authenticity, all of them seemingly obscure and open to endless interpretation.
http://www.albany.edu/~rn774/fall96/philos3.html

Extractions: HERACLITUS AND PARMENIDES both ways . In his own words, "The way up and the way down are one and the same." This is his deepest insight: all becoming is circular (notice that, indeed, in a circle the way up and the way down are one and the same). The same is true of human life: "In us the living and the dead, wakefulness and sleep, youth and old age, are one and the same: for the ones are changed into the others, and reciprocally." Heraclitus apparently believed in the cyclic recurrence of all things, including our lives. The German philosopher Nietzsche tried to revive that doctrine at the end of the 19th century. The circular nature of becoming was to mark deeply another famous German philosopher, Hegel (beginnings of 19th century). Parmenides, on the other hand, has left us long fragments of a poem written in the same meter as the Homeric epics; although there is no lack in it of goddesses and mystical symbols, the main thrust is austerely logical. The poem has two parts: the first is "the way of Truth," the second, "the way of Opinion." Parmenides' main truth is: We cannot think nor say not-being . Thus, he rejects outright the possibility of what I called the horribly difficult thought of not-being. Let me explain how he does it. Suppose I say, "Dragons are not (i.e. they don't exist)." Parmenides would reply: either there are dragons out there, in which case you are uttering a lie, or there are not, in which case your word "dragon" (and your thought) are about nothing. But a thought or a word cannot be about nothing, words and thoughts are like arrows, or like wasp stings: they must hit a target. If you say, "But my word `dragon' hits an idea of dragon I have in my mind," he would reply, "Then you're changing the subject: your word means an idea, not an object out there, and in that case, when you say that dragons are not, you're uttering a lie, for you say that the idea
