Heraclitus: The Cosmic Fragments

Heraclitus: The Cosmic Fragments | 0521052459, 9780521052450 | Cambridge

University Press, 1954 | 1954 | Heraclitus, G. S. Kirk | 423 pages

This work provides a text and an extended study of those fragments of

Heraclitus' philosophical utterances whose subject is the world as a whole

rather than man and his part in it. Professor Kirk discusses fully the fragments

which he finds genuine and treats in passing others that were generally accepted

as genuine but here considered paraphrased or spurious. In securing his text,

Professor Kirk has taken into account all the ancient testimonies, and in his

critical work he attached particular importance to the context in which each

fragment is set. To each he gives a selective apparatus, a literal translation and

and an extended commentary in which problems of textual and philosophical

criticism are discussed. Ancient accounts of Heraclitus were inadequate and

misleading, and as Kirk wrote, understanding was often hindered by excessive

dogmatism and a selective use of the fragments. Professor Kirk's method is

critical and objective, and his 1954 work marks a significant advance in the study

of Presocratic thought.

Non pas évidemment que l'interprétation soit définitive. A en juger par
les revues du livre déjà parues, de M. Vlastos et de M. Robinson1, le travail de
discussion est en train et va son train. Au point oĂą les Ă©tudes
héraclitéennes sont arrivées, on peut dire que le travail. One of the
cardinal contentions of the hook is that the ancient evidence is' incomplete and
unreliable Mr. Kirk thinks that the tradition has been'distorted'and'perverted'at
its source by Plato and Aristotle. There is undoubtedly a measure of truth in this
view. Heraclitus seems. Heraklit habe nie ein Buch geschrieben, vielmehr seien die
Fragmente ein zelne Spr? che, urspr? nglich m? ndlich vorgetragen und von einem
Sch? ler gesammelt und aufgeschrieben(7). Mir scheint, da? sich K. hier durch den

Reflections I owe to the study of GS Kirk's recent book, Heraclitus: The Cosmic
Fragments, which I be so emphatic in asserting that each of the two forms in his
cosmology is lauvrt is nothing to preclude the possibility that the elpuev was
existential, and that Heraclitus passed. But all that is known for certain about
Heraclitus is that he came from an aristocratic family, spent most of his life in
Ephesus and was not generally They are mostly epigrams and cryptic remarks
dealing with the cosmos and the soul Flux, fire and cosmic unity are his main
themes. This work provides a text and an extended study of those fragments of
Heraclitus' philosophical utterances whose subject is the world as a whole
rather than man and his part in it. Professor Kirk discusses fully the fragments
which he finds genuine and treats.
