Brann illuminates and injects with many meanings the surviving fragments of Heraclitus. It took awhile to get into the linguistic circumscription philosophical technique being used, but in the end it does seem warranted. Whether Heraclitus actually meant for Logos to play the role of stable opposition and unifier of ratios or it is just Brann telling that story through his fragments is secondary to the fact that this is a deep meditative reading.

In his Vatican fresco The School of Athens, Raphael portrays the great thinkers and teachers of the ages talking and listening to one another. His Heraclitus, however, is a lone thinker staring downward and inward, seated apart from the other philosophers. According to Eva Brann, Heraclitus looks within: "There he finds the Logos, the order that is the cosmos, the world without, whose mouthpiece and scribe he means to be". The collected work of Heraclitus comprises 131 passages. Some scholars consider them fragments, or even paraphrases of or additions to what Heraclitus originally wrote. Rather than focus on these puzzles of historical scholarship, Eva Brann sets herself the task to understand the thought of Heraclitus as it is found in the passages themselves. Read her account to see why she thinks that "Heraclitus was the first Westerner to ponder how thought and world come to jibe: A Logos that we can hear must be the designer -- and the design -- of the world.

She goes wrong when she counter-intuitively argues that Heraclitus is incorrectly read as a "flux" philosopher, and would be better paired with his contemporary Parmenides, who famously claimed that "All is one." While I wouldn't disagree that Heraclitus stands in relation (per the Logos) to Parmenides' declaration, I do not think the One of Parmenides is the same One that Heraclitus speaks of. Instead of denying the flux (change, agonism, strife) that is at the core of Heraclitus' fragments, she could have pushed Hegel's conclusions further, and found Heraclitus' true descendant in Adorno and his Negative Dialectics, which does not seek to reconcile opposites into an untrue unity.
