Abstract

MARTINEZ MILLAN, Hernán. Heraclitus, The Wakeful One. Nova tellus [online]. 2010, vol.28, n.1, pp.51-72. ISSN 0185-3058.

In this article I propose to modify Eggers Lan's hypothesis about Heraclitus, which emphasizes his interests in ethics and metaphysics. I propose that the inflection consists of imagining the Ephesian as trying to respond to religious and cosmological questions at the same time, since these were considered two sides of the same coin in ancient Greece. That is to say, the mutual implications of ethical-religious questions and cosmological ones make a unilateral treatment unsustainable. This unilateral reading, which emphasizes only the epistemological debates of his period, does not give sufficient importance to the relations between religion and cosmology in the fragments of Heraclitus.

Keywords : Heraclitus; mysticism; awakening; logos; invisible.
