Heraclitus (1 jan 540 ano antes da era comum – 1 jan 480 ano antes da era comum)

Descrição:

Heraclitus, born around 535 BC in the city of Ephesus in what is now Turkey, was a pre-Socratic philosopher known for his cryptic and enigmatic sayings.

Often referred to as "The Obscure," Heraclitus's philosophical ideas were revolutionary for his time and continue to be influential in the field of philosophy.

One of Heraclitus's most famous doctrines is the idea of constant change, encapsulated in his statement, "No man ever steps in the same river twice."

According to Heraclitus, the world is characterized by a constant process of becoming and passing away, with everything in a state of flux.

This concept of perpetual change challenged the static worldview of many of his contemporaries and has had a lasting impact on philosophical thought.

Heraclitus also introduced the concept of Logos, a term that is notoriously difficult to translate but is often rendered as "reason," "word," or "order."
