@averagephilosopher: Heraclitus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher born around 535 BCE in Ephesus. Known as the “Weeping Philosopher” for his critical view of humanity, he believed that change is the fundamental nature of reality. His most famous idea is that you cannot step into the same river twice, because both you and the river are constantly changing. Heraclitus taught that the universe is governed by the Logos—a rational principle or order behind all things—yet most people fail to recognize it. His writings were brief and cryptic, earning him the nickname “The Obscure,” but his philosophy of constant flux and unity of opposites deeply influenced later thinkers, including Plato and the Stoics. #heraclitus #philosophy #stoic #meditation #greek
