A wonderful presentation of a continuum of deeply profound philosophy / theology / worldview that is woven through the history of Western metaphysics - correctly identified , I believe , as “ Paradox at Play” . Well said !
@ClintJohnson Well, here you are again discussing one of my favorite subjects! I've always said we can't step in the same river once. In fact, I'd say we can't even step in the same river. And then there's Xeno. Driving from St Louis SW on 44 we used to see signs: Zeno's Steakhouse 100 miles. Zeno's Steakhouse 50 miles. It seemed like we'd never get there! AND in third place, Parmenides! (she said densely). (Philosopher Swifties) (Tom, not Taylor.)
14:33 is a play between Kant and Hegel in the sense of Epistemology Vs Ontology. If the humans always fail to comprehend the Logos, then it is a measurement problem, our faculties fail. But if the Logos in itself is incomprehensible then the problem is Ontological: reality itself is incomplete. It seems like we can link Heraclitus to Quantum physics uncertainty principle, where Heisenberg makes the point that it's not that we don't have the proper measurement technique to record both Velocity and Position of a particle, but that this information doesn't exist in reality in itself! What do you think
That’s an interesting idea! Eckhart was Neoplatonic - and so, Plato in contrast to Heraclitus. I’ll have to look into that further. That may make a good video. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@goodtothinkwithfor Heraclitus Justice is an immanent intuition that overlooks all strife and sees good and evil as one. For Eckhart, the Just man has one will with Gos, and he takes good the same way as he takes evil, suffering the same as joy. Eckhart even says that in the life of Intellect, good and evil are one. Very Heraclitean imo. I might be wrong; but would love to hear the take of an expert like yourself!

Always been a fan of Pyrrho of Elis, myself. Ataraxia is the goal of philosophy. Can't get much more "Buddhist" than that, methinks!
You know that's a good point.. I ought to do a talk on his ideas and file it next to Heraclitus and Diogenes the Cynic

Merci
Je vous en prie!
Great lecture! What do you think of Meister Eckhart vs Heraclitus lecture?

Is there a self to be sought if all is one and detachment and nirvana is the name of the game? Is that the self? Did Nietzsche ever achieve nirvana?
