Heraclitus's Riddles
- Heraclitus, known as "the riddler," wrote in fragments, similar to one-liners.
- His only exception seems to be the beginning of his book, On Nature, which discusses the Logos.
The Logos
- Heraclitus's key concept, the Logos, represents word, account, reason, and even proportion.
- He believed people misunderstand the Logos, despite it explaining everything.

- Heraclitus, the first monist, believed all things are one.
- This unity is often missed because people have a limited perspective.
