The concept of becoming was born in eastern ancient Greece by the philosopher Heraclitus of Hephesus, who in the Sixth century BC, said that nothing in this world is constant except change or becoming. His theory stands in direct contrast to Parmenides , another Greek philosopher, but from the italic Magna Grecia , who believed that the ontic changes or becoming we perceive with our senses is deceptive, and that there is a pure perfect and eternal being behind nature, which is the ultimate truth. In philosophy, the word becoming concerns a specific ontology ontological concept, which should not be confused with the process philosophy , the latter indicating a metaphysics metaphysical doctrine of theology . History Heraclitus c. 535 c. 475 BC spoke extensively about becoming. Shortly afterwards Leucippus of Miletus similarly spoke of becoming as the movement of atoms . The becoming ontology According to tradition ref Diogenes Laertius, Vitae Philosophorum , IX, 17 ref , Heraclitus wrote a treatise about nature named Per ph se s , About Nature, in which appears the famous aphorism panta rei os potam s translated literally as the whole flows as a river , or figuratively as everything flows, nothing stands still. The concept of becoming in philosophy is strictly connected with two others movement and evolution, as becoming assumes a changing to and a moving toward.

Floyer Sydenham 1710 &ndash 1 April 1787 was an English people English scholar of Ancient Greek . He was a Fellow and sometime Moderator of Philosophy at Wadham College, Oxford , and later Rector of Esher . He translated some of the Dialogues of Plato into English, and wrote a dissertation on Heraclitus , which failed of being appreciated. Involved in embarrassment, he was thrown into prison because he could not pay a small bill for provisions, and there died. His sad fate led directly to the foundation of the Royal Literary Fund . The translator Thomas Taylor neoplatonist Thomas Taylor wrote a widely published panegyric to Sydenham, and completed his work on the Dialogues. Catherine, sister of John Floyer, married Humphrey Sydenham, of Dulverton, and became the mother of Floyer Sydenham, a man of great attainments, Fellow and sometime Moderator of Philosophy at Wadham College, Oxford. He was afterwards Rector of Esher until 1744. He published Notes on Plato, edited the Greater and Lesser Hippias also a Dissertation on the Doctrine of Heraclitus, and Onomasticon Theologicum. He was so small a gainer in money by these works that he died in great poverty. The sympathy aroused for poor authors by his death led to the formation of the Literary Fund.

The unity of opposites was first suggested by Heraclitus ca. 535&ndash 475 BC a Pre Socratic philosophy pre Socratic Greeks Greek philosopher . Philosophers had for some time been contemplating the notion of opposites. Anaximander posited that every element was an opposite, or connected to an opposite water is cold, fire is hot . Thus, the material world was composed by some indefinite, boundless Apeiron cosmology apeiron from which arose the classical element elements earth, air, fire, water and pairs of opposites hot cold, wet dry . There was, according to Anaximander, a continual war of opposites. Anaximenes of Miletus , a student and successor of Anaximander, replaced this indefinite, boundless arche with air, a known element with neutral properties. According to Anaximenes, there was not so much a war of opposites, as a continuum of change. Heraclitus, however, did not accept the Milesians Greek milesian monism and replaced their underling material arche with a single, divine law of the universe, which he called Logos . The universe of Heraclitus is in constant change, but also remaining the same. That is to say, an object moves from point A to point B, thus creating a change, but the underlying law remains the same. Thus, a unity of opposites is present in the universe as difference and sameness. This is a rather broad example though. For a more detailed example we may turn to an aphorism of Heraclitus blockquote The road up and the road down are the same thing. Hippolytus, Refutations 9.10.3 blockquote This is an example of a compresent unity of opposites. For, at the same time, this slanted road has the opposite qualities of ascent and descent.

In his eponymous Platonic dialogue, the character of Cratylus preserves Heraclitus proclamation that one cannot step twice into the same stream. ref Plato, Cratylus , 402a ref According to Aristotle s Metaphysics Aristotle Metaphysics , Cratylus went a step beyond his master s doctrine and proclaimed that it cannot even be done once. ref Aristotle, Metaphysics , 4.5 1010a10 15 ref If the world was in such constant flux that streams could change instantaneously, then so could words. Thus, Cratylus found communication to be impossible without exactly defined words. As depicted in the Cratylus , he argued that advanced communication needs etymology and modern scientific definitions. As a result of this realization, Cratylus renounced his power of speech and limited his communication to moving his finger, as a mere figurative gesture and not as an ideology. He was an advocate of the idea that language is natural rather than conventional.

lunar crater data latitude 50.3 N or S S longitude 9.9 E or W E diameter 75 km depth 3.8 km colong 351 eponym Georges Cuvier Cuvier is a moon lunar Impact crater crater on the southern part of the Moon s near side. It is attached to the east southeast rim of the unusually shaped formation Heraclitus crater Heraclitus . To the northeast is the crater Clairaut crater Clairaut . The rim of this crater has been worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, leaving an outer wall that has been rounded and diminished in prominence. There is a small but notable crater pair lying across the northern rim, and two other smaller craters lay along the east and south rims. There are also several small craterlets laying across the rim to the north northwest. Where the rim is shared with Heraclitus, there is a slight inward bulge to the wall, producing a short section where the rim appears slightly flatter. The interior floor is level and nearly featureless, and much of the floor appears to have been resurfaced. This surface does not possess the low albedo characteristic of the lunar mare , and it matches the hue of the surrounding terrain. Instead the floor is marked by faint traces of ray system ray material from elsewhere. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid point that is closest to Cuvier. class wikitable width 25 style background eeeeee Cuvier width 25 style background eeeeee Latitude width 25 style background eeeeee Longitude width 25 style background eeeeee Diameter align center A align center 52.4 S align center 12.0 E align center 18 km align center B align center 51.7 S align center 13.8 E align center 17 km align center C align center 49.9 S align center 11.7 E align center 9 km align center D align center 51.3 S align center 7.8 E align center 17 km align center E align center 52.3 S align center 12.9 E align center 19 km align center F align center 52.2 S align center 11.2 E align cent ... more details
Unreferenced date July 2009 Image Yin yang.svg thumb Universal Dialectic Taiji Universal dialectic is an ontology ontological idea which is closely related to the Taoism Taoist and Neo Confucian concept of taiji philosophy taiji or supreme ultimate. In the West, dialectician s including Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Hegel explored themes that some see as remarkably similar, laying the groundwork for unification. Universal dialectic is envisioned as a single fundamental creative principle of inherent complementarity, as inspired by Heraclitus . However, rather than manifesting only cyclical change as was the Greek view , it is progressive in nature, bringing about states of increasing complexity through a dialectical process of Thesis, antithesis, synthesis synthesis . Accordingly, the term universal dialectic can be seen as part of an attempt to Westernize and or modernize the concept of taiji in regard to the fundamental role and nature of complementary opposites in the ongoing Self organization self organizing process of Creation myth creation . It associates this traditionally Eastern view with the concept of dialectic advocated by Socrates , Hegel, and Karl Marx Marx . This Western influence adds a progressive element to the inexorable process of change, a concept which is absent in Oriental thought.
