West; Notes; Concordances; Indexes; 1 General index; 2 Index of Passages discussed Summary Behind the superficial obscurity of what fragments we have of Heraclitus' thought, Professor Kahn claims that it is possible to detect a systematic view of human existence, a theory of language which sees ambiguity as a device for the expression of multiple meaning, and a vision of human life and death within the larger order of nature. The fragments are presented here in a readable order; translation and commentary aim to make accessible the power and originality of a systematic thinker and a great master of artistic prose. The commentary locates Heraclitus within the tradition of early Greek thought, but stresses the importance of his ideas for topical theories of language, literature and philosophy Notes Includes Greek original and English translation of the fragments Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages xii-xiv) Notes Includes indexes Includes parallel Greek text and English translation of the fragments Print version record SUBJECT Heraclitus, of Ephesus. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095675 Heraclitus, of Ephesus fast Heraclitus (Ephesius) swd Heraclitus (Ephesius).
