War (polemos) between Heraclitus and Aristotle

Publication at Catholic Theological Faculty, Faculty of Humanities |
2014

Abstract

The paper is focusing on the conception of fysis (nature) of Heraclitus and Aristotle. Heraclitus tries to think the fysis as essentially unclear, mutable and ambiguous.

On the other hand Aristotle decided to comprehend the nature as substantially clear - and this decision influences our thinking to this day.
