  1. Measuring the End: Heraclitus and Diogenes of Babylon on the Great Year and Ekpyrosis.Christian Vassallo - 2023 - Apeiron 56 (4):643-671.
    This paper first examines surviving testimonies on the doctrine of the Great Year in Heraclitus and attempts to demonstrate the reliability of Aëtius’ version handed down by the mss., according to which the Great Year is equal to 18,000 solar years. On the basis of such evidence it is also possible to newly examine Diogenes of Babylon’s views about this topic. In the second part, the paper better defines the relationship between the Great Year and the theory of cosmic conflagration. (...)

  • Geometrical Oppositions as Coordinates for a Heraclitus’ Circular Cosmology.Tadeu Cavalcante & Gabriele Cornelli - 2024 - Elenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 45 (1):25-54.
    The doctrine of unity of opposites lays in the centre of the debate on Heraclitus’ philosophy. The present article proposes a critical analysis of the mainstream interpretation of geometrical oppositions (fragments DK 22 B 59, B 60 and B 103) as mere examples of different points of view. Instead, we suggest that these fragments are fundamental pieces in Heraclitus cosmology and that they are traces of a circular and archaic paradigm. Indeed, cyclical formulations are spread throughout the fragments and, read (...)

  • Organizational Resilience through the Philosophical Lens of Aristotelian and Heraclitean Philosophy.Vasileios Georgiadis & Lazaros Sarigiannidis - 2024 - Philosophy of Management 23 (3):377-393.
    This inquiry aims to highlight the philosophical perspective of Aristotle’s “business” priority of the organization over the individual in combination with Heraclitus’ flux theory and the unity of opposites to alternatively approach organizational resilience. While current literature on organizational resilience argues that disorganization and gradual decaying are probable but not certain, they can be predicted and managed. In contrast, the combined analysis of Aristotelian and Heraclitean philosophical theories points out that organizational disorganization and the fluctuation of resilience are a certainty (...)

  • Tropes and Polysemy in Heraclitus' Fragments From Fire in the World to Words of Fire.Marianne Garin - 2013 - Methodos 13.
    Cet article est né d'une double constatation, la première inspirée par l'étude du corpus d'Héraclite d'Éphèse, auteur ionien du 6ème siècle av. J.-C. dont il nous reste largement plus d'une centaine de Fragments considérés comme littéraux et censément extraits d'une œuvre dont la forme et l'ordonnance sont à ce jour inconnues, la seconde par la lecture des commentaires et interprétations qu'en proposent les spécialistes. C'est en effet en remarquant la variété des approches appliquées par les scientifiques pour parvenir à une (...)
