Heraclitus: Commentaries on the Fragments of Heraclitus - Paperback

by Heraclitus (of Ephesus ). (Author)

If Heraclitus had been born in India rather than Greece, he would have been recognized not only as a philosopher but also as a mystic. The fragments of his words that have been preserved were long rejected as obscure and enigmatic in favor of Aristotle's one-dimensional logic. This book brings Heraclitus' wisdom to the eternal enigmas of life and death, man's spiritual slumber, self-knowledge, and the avoidance of extremes.
