write my assignment 206

Thales & Heraclitus

1. How might one think differently if we do not assume a separation between mythos and logos – myth and reason? 

2. How should we understand Thales when he says “All things are full of gods”? 

3. If one “cannot step into the same river twice” as Heraclitus famously claims, what implications does this have for the notion of change? For epistemology?

The Presocratics

1. To what extent can we justifiably call the Presocratic thinkers “scientists”?

2. Can reason be mixed with mythology without losing its power? 

3. What happens when one substance changes into another?
