Heraclitus - Panta Rei

eraclitus on Change and the Search for Balance

What if the very thing that unsettles you—change—is also the key to inner steadiness? In our debut episode on Philosophy Now! we trek back to Ephesus (circa 500 BCE) to meet Heraclitus, the loner philosopher who claimed that “all things flow” and that “character is fate.” His surviving fragments—fewer than a hundred cryptic lines hit harder than ever in an era of 24-hour news cycles and zero-sum reasoning.
