HERACLITUS
(535-475 B. C. )
H
ERACLITUS, the most original of the pre-Socratic Greek philoso-
phers, was born at Ephesus about 535 B. C. His father's
name is uncertain; but he belonged to the nobility, and
claimed descent from Androclus the founder of Ephesus, a son of the
Athenian king Codrus. He had even a claim to the royal title him-
self, doubtless as the titular head of the State religion; but resigned it
to his brother when he devoted himself to philosophy. He remained,
however, always an aristocrat, and bitterly opposed to the growing
democracy of Ephesus, which banished his
uncle Hermodorus. The latter is said to
have gone to Rome and assisted in drawing
up the laws of the Twelve Tables. Heracli-
tus seems to have lived a retired life, and to
have died about 475 B. C. He was known
in later times as "the weeping philosopher. "
Few men have influenced the world by
their thought more deeply than Heraclitus.
He was the inventor of the Logos, from
which the science of Logic is named, and
on which the first principle of Stoicism and
the Christian doctrine of "the Word" are
based. His one book, 'On Nature,' was
written in Ionic prose, in a form so difficult
as to earn him in subsequent times the title of "the Dark. " This
darkness, however, was due far more to the matter than to the style
of the book. The latter indeed, if abrupt and terse, is powerful and
sublime, reminding us of the Hebrew prophets; while of the former,
Socrates said that its depth was so great as to require "a Delian
diver. "
HERACLITUS
Heraclitus claims to be self-taught; nevertheless he shows acquaint-
ance not only with Homer and Hesiod, but also with Pythagoras,
Xenophanes, Hecatæus, Archilochus, and Bias - and inveighs against
the whole of them, except the last. His originality therefore con-
sisted in the attitude of opposition which he assumed to his prede-
cessors. Combining the material principle of his Ionian predecessors
with the numerical proportion of Pythagoras and the all-embracing
unity of being of Xenophanes, he set up as his absolute a universal
fire, determining itself according to measure and number. Through

HERACLITUS
the regulated self-transformation of this, the universe with all its
phenomena, including thought, arises. In this universe everything is
in perpetual change, except the Logos or law of change, which is
conceived as one with the primal fire. The universal life is a pro-
cess from fire and to fire, -a continual differentiation and a continual
overcoming of differentiation.
Heraclitus is the first materialistic monist, and all subsequent sys-
tems of monism descend from him. His views are discussed in the
'Cratylus of Plato, and are often referred to by Aristotle.
>
He
founded no school; but about 308 B. C. , Zeno of Citium, adopting his
leading principles, his Logos and his monism,-founded Stoicism,
which is thus mainly a development of Heracliteanism.

HERACLITUS
(535-475 B. C. )
H
ERACLITUS, the most original of the pre-Socratic Greek philoso-
phers, was born at Ephesus about 535 B. C. His father's
name is uncertain; but he belonged to the nobility, and
claimed descent from Androclus the founder of Ephesus, a son of the
Athenian king Codrus. He had even a claim to the royal title him-
self, doubtless as the titular head of the State religion; but resigned it
to his brother when he devoted himself to philosophy. He remained,
however, always an aristocrat, and bitterly opposed to the growing
democracy of Ephesus, which banished his
uncle Hermodorus. The latter is said to
have gone to Rome and assisted in drawing
up the laws of the Twelve Tables. Heracli-
tus seems to have lived a retired life, and to
have died about 475 B. C. He was known
in later times as "the weeping philosopher. "
Few men have influenced the world by
their thought more deeply than Heraclitus.
He was the inventor of the Logos, from
which the science of Logic is named, and
on which the first principle of Stoicism and
the Christian doctrine of "the Word" are
based. His one book, 'On Nature,' was
written in Ionic prose, in a form so difficult
as to earn him in subsequent times the title of "the Dark. " This
darkness, however, was due far more to the matter than to the style
of the book. The latter indeed, if abrupt and terse, is powerful and
sublime, reminding us of the Hebrew prophets; while of the former,
Socrates said that its depth was so great as to require "a Delian
diver. "
HERACLITUS
Heraclitus claims to be self-taught; nevertheless he shows acquaint-
ance not only with Homer and Hesiod, but also with Pythagoras,
Xenophanes, Hecatæus, Archilochus, and Bias - and inveighs against
the whole of them, except the last. His originality therefore con-
sisted in the attitude of opposition which he assumed to his prede-
cessors. Combining the material principle of his Ionian predecessors
with the numerical proportion of Pythagoras and the all-embracing
unity of being of Xenophanes, he set up as his absolute a universal
fire, determining itself according to measure and number. Through

HERACLITUS
the regulated self-transformation of this, the universe with all its
phenomena, including thought, arises. In this universe everything is
in perpetual change, except the Logos or law of change, which is
conceived as one with the primal fire. The universal life is a pro-
cess from fire and to fire, -a continual differentiation and a continual
overcoming of differentiation.
Heraclitus is the first materialistic monist, and all subsequent sys-
tems of monism descend from him. His views are discussed in the
'Cratylus of Plato, and are often referred to by Aristotle.
>
He
founded no school; but about 308 B. C. , Zeno of Citium, adopting his
leading principles, his Logos and his monism,-founded Stoicism,
which is thus mainly a development of Heracliteanism. Stoicism
played a great part in the world for six or seven hundred years, and
some of the noblest spirits of the ancient world professed it,― Marcus
Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca, etc. It finds a very noble expression in
the Hymn to Zeus' by Cleanthes.
In modern times Hegel, by his own admission, adopted into his
Logic all the principles of Heraclitus, - the self-determining, world-
creating Logos, the identity of opposites, the universal process, etc. ,-
and thus gave them a new lease of life. Hegel himself by this
means reached an all-embracing idealism, which professed to furnish
a new basis for all the old notions of Church and State, which the
French Revolution had rudely shaken; but his disciple Ferdinand Las-
salle, who wrote a large work in two volumes on Heraclitus, empha-
sizing the latter's materialism, made it the basis of that view of the
world and of society which calls for Socialism as its true expression.
Indeed, Socialism is merely Heracliteanism in politics and economics.
Thus, in a very important sense, Heraclitus may be said to be the
father of Socialism, and to be very much alive among us to-day.
Besides Lassalle's work, already referred to (Die Philosophie
Herakleitos des Dunklen von Ephesos': Berlin, 1858), there are many
works on Heraclitus,- by Schleiermacher, Bernays, Schuster, Teich-
müller, Pfleiderer, and others. The best edition of the 'Fragments'
is that by I. Bywater, 'Heracliti Ephesii Fragmenta,' Oxford, 1877;
of the pseudo-Heraclitean letters, that by Jac. Bernays, Berlin, 1869.

FRAGMENTS
L
ISTENING, not to me, but to the Word, it is wise for men to
confess that all things are one.
Though the Word always speaks, yet men are born with-
out understanding for it, both before they hear it, and at first
after they have heard it. For though all things are produced

HERACLITUS
7249
according to this Word, men seem to be unaware of it, making
attempts at such words and deeds as I explain by separating
them according to their nature, and telling them as they are.
But other men fail as completely to recognize what they do
while they are awake as they forget what they do when asleep.
Having ears and understanding not, they are like deaf men. To
them the proverb applies: "While they're here they're yonder.

(535-475 B. C. )
H
ERACLITUS, the most original of the pre-Socratic Greek philoso-
phers, was born at Ephesus about 535 B. C. His father's
name is uncertain; but he belonged to the nobility, and
claimed descent from Androclus the founder of Ephesus, a son of the
Athenian king Codrus. He had even a claim to the royal title him-
self, doubtless as the titular head of the State religion; but resigned it
to his brother when he devoted himself to philosophy. He remained,
however, always an aristocrat, and bitterly opposed to the growing
democracy of Ephesus, which banished his
uncle Hermodorus. The latter is said to
have gone to Rome and assisted in drawing
up the laws of the Twelve Tables. Heracli-
tus seems to have lived a retired life, and to
have died about 475 B. C. He was known
in later times as "the weeping philosopher. "
Few men have influenced the world by
their thought more deeply than Heraclitus.
He was the inventor of the Logos, from
which the science of Logic is named, and
on which the first principle of Stoicism and
the Christian doctrine of "the Word" are
based. His one book, 'On Nature,' was
written in Ionic prose, in a form so difficult
as to earn him in subsequent times the title of "the Dark. " This
darkness, however, was due far more to the matter than to the style
of the book. The latter indeed, if abrupt and terse, is powerful and
sublime, reminding us of the Hebrew prophets; while of the former,
Socrates said that its depth was so great as to require "a Delian
diver. "
HERACLITUS
Heraclitus claims to be self-taught; nevertheless he shows acquaint-
ance not only with Homer and Hesiod, but also with Pythagoras,
Xenophanes, Hecatæus, Archilochus, and Bias - and inveighs against
the whole of them, except the last. His originality therefore con-
sisted in the attitude of opposition which he assumed to his prede-
cessors. Combining the material principle of his Ionian predecessors
with the numerical proportion of Pythagoras and the all-embracing
unity of being of Xenophanes, he set up as his absolute a universal
fire, determining itself according to measure and number. Through

HERACLITUS
the regulated self-transformation of this, the universe with all its
phenomena, including thought, arises. In this universe everything is
in perpetual change, except the Logos or law of change, which is
conceived as one with the primal fire. The universal life is a pro-
cess from fire and to fire, -a continual differentiation and a continual
overcoming of differentiation.
Heraclitus is the first materialistic monist, and all subsequent sys-
tems of monism descend from him. His views are discussed in the
'Cratylus of Plato, and are often referred to by Aristotle.

in perpetual change, except the Logos or law of change, which is

Heraclitus is the first materialistic monist, and all subsequent sys-

He
founded no school; but about 308 B. C. , Zeno of Citium, adopting his
leading principles, his Logos and his monism,-founded Stoicism,
which is thus mainly a development of Heracliteanism. Stoicism
played a great part in the world for six or seven hundred years, and
some of the noblest spirits of the ancient world professed it,― Marcus
Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca, etc. It finds a very noble expression in
the Hymn to Zeus' by Cleanthes.
In modern times Hegel, by his own admission, adopted into his
Logic all the principles of Heraclitus, - the self-determining, world-
creating Logos, the identity of opposites, the universal process, etc. ,-
and thus gave them a new lease of life. Hegel himself by this
means reached an all-embracing idealism, which professed to furnish
a new basis for all the old notions of Church and State, which the
French Revolution had rudely shaken; but his disciple Ferdinand Las-
salle, who wrote a large work in two volumes on Heraclitus, empha-
sizing the latter's materialism, made it the basis of that view of the
world and of society which calls for Socialism as its true expression.
Indeed, Socialism is merely Heracliteanism in politics and economics.
Thus, in a very important sense, Heraclitus may be said to be the
father of Socialism, and to be very much alive among us to-day.
Besides Lassalle's work, already referred to (Die Philosophie
Herakleitos des Dunklen von Ephesos': Berlin, 1858), there are many
works on Heraclitus,- by Schleiermacher, Bernays, Schuster, Teich-
müller, Pfleiderer, and others. The best edition of the 'Fragments'
is that by I. Bywater, 'Heracliti Ephesii Fragmenta,' Oxford, 1877;
of the pseudo-Heraclitean letters, that by Jac. Bernays, Berlin, 1869.

FRAGMENTS
L
ISTENING, not to me, but to the Word, it is wise for men to
confess that all things are one.
Though the Word always speaks, yet men are born with-
out understanding for it, both before they hear it, and at first
after they have heard it. For though all things are produced
## p. 7249 (#29) ############################################
HERACLITUS
7249
according to this Word, men seem to be unaware of it, making
attempts at such words and deeds as I explain by separating
them according to their nature, and telling them as they are.
But other men fail as completely to recognize what they do
while they are awake as they forget what they do when asleep.
Having ears and understanding not, they are like deaf men. To
them the proverb applies: "While they're here they're yonder.
