/lit/ - Literature

I think there is a substance that constitutes the essence of all beings in the universe, a fundamental archetype of the universe that permeates the entire universe, that makes matter emerge from itself.

If there are philosophers who think similarly, could you write down their works that you would recommend me to read?

This logos holds always but humans always prove unable to ever understand it, both before hearing it and when they have first heard it. For though all things come to be in accordance with this logos, humans are like the inexperienced when they experience such words and deeds as I set out, distinguishing each in accordance with its nature and saying how it is. But other people fail to notice what they do when awake, just as they forget what they do while asleep.

—Diels–Kranz, 22B1

For this reason it is necessary to follow what is common. But although the logos is common, most people live as if they had their own private understanding.

—Diels–Kranz, 22B2

Listening not to me but to the logos it is wise to agree that all things are one.

—Diels–Kranz, 22B50

an independent existence of a universal logos was clearly suggested by Heraclitus.

What the fuck was his problem?

>you'll never read the complete works of the presocratics

Alright /lit/, I'm finally going to start with the Greeks. Where can I read the presocratics?
