Get me off of Wikipedia. I spent hours tonight learning from my new favorite philosopher,
Heraclitus, who invented the concept of
logos (see the Gospel of John, line 1) and contributed to the idea of
panentheism, a most hopeful ideology. He was an originator of
process philosophy (i.e understanding the universality of change) and was, consequently, an early
dialectic philosopher (in which opposing views are to be continually synthesized). All that aside (as if), I liked this:
"By cosmic rule, as day yields night, so winter summer, war peace, plenty famine. All things change. Air penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense."
