HeraclitusHeraclitus was born approximately at 540 B.C, He is peerless of the aristocratic families of Ephesus, near Colophon. Heraclitus had a reputation as a intentionally obscure thinker. Heraclitus often referred as The Dark due to the darkness of his writings. stock-still though there is no adequate English translation of the name Logos based on the writing, it can be seen that the logos was interpret by Heraclitus as The word of God Unity in foe. Due to the fact that it is the controlling, magnificent force within nature, Heraclitus could simply enlighten it (Logos) as the mind of God. The fundamental dogma of Heraclituss orderliness is the allegation that there is a balanced building of the solar system and that this structure establishes and maintain the stability of the universe. In order to transform what is Logos wholeness should have a soul (Seeing, Hearing, Perception). It is said by Heraclitus that God is forever and a solar day better than men. Unity in Opp osites could be interpreted as up to now though there be things which are the total opposites of each other, they are still able to unite in one unity. For example, Sea could be considered as two things, Sea could be the nearly pure irrigate for fishes, yet sea piss could be the most polluted water supply for men.

(Fr. 61)Moreover, looking further on Heraclitus Logos we can guess that he thinks that antithesis/opposites make unity. For example, God is day night, winter summer, war peace, satiety hunger (Fr. 67). In this writing, it is safe to say that Heraclitus considered fire as the most fundamental and important element in this world. Heraclitus strongly believes that fire is the most essential com... ...equilibrium is a place where everything is always changing. Hence, the idea of fire. Based on this paradigm now we could possibly understand wherefore in the first place Heraclitus uses fire as the most suitable metaphor for the logos as fire never sash in one form, it is always changing. It is probably based on the said(prenominal) reason why Heraclitus likes the nature of river as the river is always changing, new water will continuously flows through replacing the old one, and it will rest the same for a very long period, probably forever. Moreover, still in the coverage of the previous theory, Heraclitus expanded Anaximanders idea of the interaction of opposites. Heraclitus views that the pettishness between all the opposites things in this world is actually universal it never end. In fact, animosity might be the reason behind why we could have justice and equilibrium.
