Carbon Monoxide Detector Read 57

Work: Heraclitus


A - 1: [1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 17 ]

2: [4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13]

3: [3, 13, 19]

4: [1, 2, 14, 18]

B - 1: The assertion of the unity of all is the core of the thought of Heraclitus. This is based on the idea that there is one thing unique and eternal, able to explain it all (multiple), which chooses to call it "Logos", "Fire", "Harmony" or "War." This "Logos" is always something outside of man outside. And like all (he says), changing. In turn, the "Logos" is the reason and thought, which guides all beings.

2: Heraclitus gives this essence that explains what the name of "War", among many others. So called because, in his way of seeing, everything is made up of opposites, such as day and night, black and white or life and death. As the oscillation of opposing war, ends up achieving harmony assumed by the Logos, and, according to Heraclitus, is common to us all.

3: Heraclitus sees in nature a continuous evolution, where everything changes and nothing remains, in his words, everything flows. This evolution is the result of the fight and oscillation of opposites, reason why he decided to give "War" by name, among others. But direct consequence of the idea of \u200b\u200bbecoming, Heraclitus also called "Fire", because this is changing, in his words, "to measure comes on and goes far."

4: In the time that Heraclitus lived, that he could "philosophy" was that I had free time to do so, and the only ones they had were the aristocrats. A reason for this, Heraclitus believed that reason and thought were typical of the aristocrats themselves, and never the masses. They did not act reasonably, and therefore despised. Is the same as Heraclitus says that the Logos is common to all men, but few realize it.

C - 1: The "Logos" that covers all entities, their common them all, and therefore everyone should adaptársele and understand, and it is here where the aphorism marks a problem, saying that men do not understand or "open" to the logos, passing them unnoticed, as if asleep.

5: Note that by saying "One thing is wise (...)", Heraclitus again refer to something unique, and not just anything, but one that involves wisdom and reason, meaning that it is referring to the "Logos", which of the following ("(...) know the intelligence that guides all things through all ") is understood to guide all men and all things through them, ie in the future.

7: Heraclitus is here referring to the opposition and oscillation between opposites (speaking of divergence), which is a harmony, which is represented by the convergence of the self. The Bow and the Lyre are, according to Heraclitus, an example of this confrontation of opposites which ends in a harmony (bow and lyre would be the two exams).

12: In this aphorism can be read two different things: on the one hand, it is you're talking about the opposition of opposites, pitting to war with justice, from which emerges a harmony. But in turn you are referring to the unity of all, because, he says, war is in the pool, as claimed by justice, and justice is at the bottom discord, as claimed by the war itself converging both reaching them and the harmony that is the "Logos."

14: The aphorism refers to what Heraclitus called opposition or oscillation between opposites, which in this case are the waking and sleep. Although each individual has a particular dream, they all converge in the waking world, implying harmony between them, and involving also something that is common to all, what Heraclitus called "Logos."

17: The sun never could pass its measures, it would break with the idea of \u200b\u200bharmony that involves the "Logos", which is why the Furies will discover, through which all belong to the same guiding all entities. The harmony which involves the "Logos" and unity and guides covering all entities complement each other in this aphorism.
