Heraclitus

• Born in Ephesus
• His writings are the most gnomic which means it is hard to understand
• Those who seek gold dig much earth and find a little -> anything of value should be obtained through hard work
• He was an Aristocrat and Misanthropist -> Most men are useless and ignorant conformists
• The world is in a constant change called flux
• Could've become a king but he refused as he wished to strive towards wisdom
• According to Heraclitus, Logos is the underlying principle that governs the world and provides order and harmony. It is the rational structure that can be understood through reason and logic.
• In Heraclitus' philosophy, Logos is the underlying principle that governs the universe and brings order to the constant flux of reality.
