Abstract
In this paper, I explore a prominent question of Hericlitean scholarship: how
is change possible? Karl Popper and G. S. Kirk tackle this same question. Kirk
asserts that Heraclitus believed that change is present on a macrocosmic level
and that all change is regulated by the cosmic principle logos. Popper, on the
other hand, claims Heraclitus believed that change is microcosmic and rejected
that all change is regulated by logos. I argue for a combination of aspects from
each of their claims and conclude that change is present both microcosmically
and macrocosmically and that all change is governed by logos
.
