Interpret the fragments of Heraclitus and explain his fundamental

doctrines. What is “the doctrine of flux”? How should we interpret

Heraclitus’ famous ‘River Fragment’: “One cannot step twice into the

same river, nor can one grasp any mortal substance in a stable condition,

but it scatters and again gathers; it forms and dissolves, and approaches

and departs” (p.53 Fragment LI). What is Heraclitus’ theory of “the unity

of opposites”? How does the unity of opposites relate to the doctrine of

flux? What is the logos? What is the Heraclitean One? What is the role of

“war” or “conflict” in Heraclitus’ fragments? Use direct references to the

text to support your interpretation
