Heraclitus: Union of Opposites, Change & Logos

Heraclitus of Ephesus is one of the most influential - and obscure - thinkers in Western history. His philosophy is as mystical as it is aligned with modern science and his poetical aphorisms have inspired people like Nietzsche, Jung, and Heidegger. Here we explore the main principles of Heraclitus’ thought. This includes the idea of the Logos, fire as the first principle of the Universe, change as the only permanent quality of Being, and the inadequacy of language to convey wisdom. #philosophy #wisdom ⭐ Support this channel: 💰PayPal Donation: 📨 Subscribe with email: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Fragments - by Heraclitus (translated by Brooks Haxton with a Foreword by James Hillman) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 Music used 1. 2. 3.
