Fragments

null
Book •
Heraclitus's "Fragments" are the surviving remnants of his writings, offering glimpses into his philosophical ideas.

His work emphasizes the concept of constant change and flux, famously stating that "everything flows.

" Heraclitus's philosophy explores the unity of opposites and the importance of understanding the underlying principles governing the universe.

His fragments are often cryptic and require careful interpretation, but they have had a profound influence on Western thought.

The "Fragments" remain a significant source for understanding pre-Socratic philosophy.
