Descrizione:
HeraclitusGreek presocratic philosopher who used paradox and riddles to argue that the world is constantly changing in discussions preserved only in fragmetary reports. Although he identified fire as the original stuff {Gk. αρχη [archê]} of the universe, Heraclitus supposed that its changeable nature results in the formation of all of the traditional opposites.
