Heraclitus · Philosophy
Heraclitus’ teaching on the human soul - the fiery, dry, deep soul whose limits cannot be found; his ideal of wisdom as waking from the sleep of private opinion to grasp the common Logos; and his stern moral vision of self-knowledge and living according to nature.
You learned that Heraclitus held the soul to be fiery and immeasurably deep, that wisdom is waking from the sleep of private opinion to grasp the common Logos, and that the deepest task is self-knowledge (‘I searched myself’). Explain Heraclitus’ view of the soul and wisdom in your own words.
Leads to The Buddha (Dhammapada).
