>If western philosophy followed his path instead of Plato’s, we would’ve come a lot farther.
Heraclitus's ideas were used extensively by Socrates/Plato, Aristoteles, Neoplatonists and the church fathers, so they are in that sense followed by "western philosophy", whatever that means

>we need to play around with definitions of terms we all know and use otherwise I will be wrong

OP here (and straight), I made this thread because according to Heidegger, Plato and Aristotle misunderstood Heraclitus (and Parmenides) and this has altered the course of western philosophy as a result. It allowed a lot of ideas to flourish that weren’t conducive to culture or productive.

Heraclitus.The painting was painted by the Dutch artist named Johannes Moreelse in 1630.

Namefags are a blessing because the kind of people you don’t like are namefags among the list, but because they namefag you’re also given the choice to filter them. It’s honestly a blessing in disguise.

Isn’t this 90% of philosophy in a nutshell?

>heraCLITus

>>21736952

"War is the father of all things."

He was a proto-Nietszche or Stirner type guy. Plato took his ideas and basterdized them and mixed them with Parmenides so they were basically something entirely different. Basically read Heidegger.

What an awful lie

>>21736967
I'm more inclined to believe an overweight German man 2000 years after Parmenides's death who doesn't even conversationally speak the same language group is less informed about Parmenides's real meaning than the man who almost lived contemporaneously and interacted almost directly with the man.
