_the professor is exactly the ignoramus about which Heraclitus speaks. If you can't read the text yourself, in translation, and reach Understanding, no teacher is going to help._

Great lecture! LOGOS is the "how-to" principle of universal order, the soul's process of growth, human discourse, and cosmic process! The Logos with its multiple meanings, "πολυσημία" in Greek! Thanks a lot, professor!

Thanks Greg, there's a lot of "Logos buzzwording" abounding in the zeitgeist atm, and I think it's crucial to challenge these Logoi peddlers to define their terms. Appreciate your work here as always. YOU, Sir, are the best philosophy prof. alive that I am aware of.

Would you say that your fuller explanation of "The Logos" is closer to what John is referring to in John 1:1 rather than just "The Word?" What has come down to us in the KJV seems to me to be an inadequate translation. Would that be a correct assessment? Thanks.

@GregoryBSadler 3 жыл бұрын

Well, you shouldn't be relying on the KJV period, but that's a separate issue. Closer? Sure, but with a lot of distance still between them

Fragment 115 seems to have multiple understandings. Is the Logos there in the DNA as a predisposition? Or is it something that can only be determined in retrospect as an unfolding of events leading up to the present state of Being?

I've often read that in the translated works of Stoic texts, like Discourses, the word "reason" is used as the translation of the word "logos", is that true? If it is, how closely do you think our modern conception of using reason aligns with the ancient meaning behind logos?

@GregoryBSadler 2 жыл бұрын

I'd say there is no such thing as "our modern conception of using reason" any more than there is a single "ancient meaning behind logos". Both are terms with multiple meanings
