Abstract

Logos is the key to knowing Heraclites. In order to perceive his ideas in this regard, it is first necessary to take some preliminary steps, as follows:1. Paying attention to the hidden meaning of Logos rather than focusing on its literal translation. None of the equivalents of this word in other languages truly represents its meaning.2. Analyzing the process of the development of the concept of Logos and trying to obtain a more thorough and unbiased perception of the original meaning of Logos, as intended by the Greek and without imposing the modern principles of knowledge on it.3. Gaining familiarity with the culture of ancient Greece and the views of ancient Greeks concerning the world in order to explore the complicated and intricate relations between Logos and other basic concepts such as manifestation, truth, and nature.4. Learning about Heraclites' profound views regarding Logos in Greek culture and his contributions to the enrichment of this concept.5. Perceiving the principial, sublime, and harmonious worldview that Logos has created in order to unite the three fields of thought, ethics, and language with each other.After going through the above stages, one can provide a convincing answer to the following question: Is Heraclites a philosopher who speaks ambiguously or a multi-dimensional thinker and one of the most prominent of all brilliant figures of the field of human thought whose figurative language requires a thorough study of Greek culture in order to be understood perfectly?
