## Description

Heraclitus of Ephesus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived a lonely life earning him the moniker of the "Weeping Philosopher." His principal philosophy is embodied in the following statement "No man ever steps in the same river twice," in other words man faces an ever-present change in the universe. He believed in the unity of opposites, stating that "the path up and down are one and the same." According to Diogenes, Heraclitus worked on "a continuous treatise On Nature," which "was divided into three discourses, one on the universe, another on politics, and a third on theology." Only fragments of this work remain today many of which are quoted from other authors. Those fragments are presented here in a translation and with critical commentary by G. T. W. Patrick.

Review: Good despite being dated - A scholarly translation even if it's dated, the notes are linked to each fragment and easy to access and close again. The Greek text is at the end. I didn't read the whole introduction which is doubtless a bit dated by now; nonetheless this translation of the text itself is fine and helpful, and as others have said, all you need. It's only a small text (of fragments) after all.
Review: Not a pleasure read - This will fall on many as unreadable or not understandable. BUT, for those willing to put in the time, there are many pearls of wisdom within.

Enjoy reading old quotes from the ancient Greeks. You can certainly apply some of the quotes to today's world. Not all quotes are interpreted the same, read the book and see what you may come up with.
