The Presocratic Heraclitus of Ephesus is a philosopher's philosopher. His work was beloved by Socrates, Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger. Herclitus, the philosopher from Ephesus is commonly known as the philosopher of fire (thanks to Aristotle) or, for those with a little more nuance, he is known as the philosopher of panta rei or flux — of constant never-ending change.
But there is another side of Heraclitus's philosophy that is less talked about and that is his philosophy of Logos. This element of the Presocratic philosopher's work was taken up by the Gospel writer John who opened his Gospel with the line "In the beginning was there was the Logos and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God". John wrote his work in Ephesus and so the comparison with Heraclitus can't be avoided.
For Heraclitus Logos is the unchanging eternal principle that is the true nature of reality. That leaves us with something of a paradox in a way that is very similar to Parmenides, who also wrote about the contrast between the world of Being and the world of Becoming.
As well as Parmenides we will also be looking at how Heraclitus's work can be situated as part of the tradition of the Perennial Philosophy and can be fruitfully connected with the Eastern philosophies of Buddha Gautama and of Lao-Tzu.

Do more on presocratic philosophy.

All these philosophers who wrote books called On Nature, like Heraclitus, Parmenides and Lucretius were basically physicists and theorists before the word. Their idea of movement with stability, randomness with order, prefigures by about an couple millennia the discoveries of physicists in the 20th century. It's frankly amazing!

"There is no proposition of Heraclitus which I have not adopted in my Logic." - Hegel

Great job! Would love to see you expand on Heraclitus and the pre-socratic philosophy.

For sure, the Logos corresponds nicely with Brahmin and the Tao. Good show!

Love your work. Thank you.
|
This was awesome! Thank you for providing this information to the world. A lot of people don't like to read anymore. This is a good way to keep people in the know.
|
Thank You for your videos, bro!!!!!!
|
Great Editing btw!! Really enjoyed it!!

"...was in line to become king...but chose to become a philosopher instead..."
So similar to the origin story of Siddartha Gautama AKA the Buddha.

Thanks for an interesting talk, and a more than usually thoughtful reading of Heraclitus. His dual aspect world (the world of change and the Logos) is explained by Nagarjuna's doctrine of ''Two Truths' or 'Worlds' ',

Another great video. Interweaving different ancient philosophys and belief systems allows the viewer a greater understanding Heraclitus and his ancient contemporaries.
Excellent 🙂
|
I have to say: Thanks, man! Thank you! A hundred times, thank you! Quality dialogues on philosophy are something I eagerly desire in my life. And you are dealing them out in spades.

I believe that Heraclitus was the philosopher about whom the character Oliver was writing his treatise in the novel "Call Me By Your Name" by Andre Aciman.

The animation was wonderful! More collabs with this guy pls

Similar to Buddhism, I think a comparison can be made between Heraclitus' philosophy and Advaita Vedanta, which contains the principles of samsara and moksha (nirvana in Buddhism).

Excellent, accessible, well synthesized.
More on a Delian diver please. I ask because it’s an aspiration of mine:). I love to swim in deep waters, the depths impenetrable, abyss and mystery

Such a great video (as always)!
|
Any video on Heraclitus is bound to simplify some stuff or leave others behind, but you manage to cover all the important ones (and the reasons why they're important!) in a very direct and understandable way, in less than 10 minutes, that's insane!
It took me 15 minutes for my video on Heraclitus, and I don't think I convey his thoughts as clearly as you do, I'm very impressed.
You just earned another subscriber!
