Heraclitus (c. 535–c. 475 B.C.)

Heraclitus (her-a-klī’tus). A Greek philosopher; born in Ephesus, about 535 B.C.; died about 475 B.C. His system has been summed up in his own favorite words: “All things flow.” By this he is said, according to modern critics, to convey the idea that the law of being is one of perpetual change.
