Knowledge and Unity in Heraclitus

In this paper I argue that the logos, the primary object of knowledge in Heraclitus' epistemology, is a unity both as an object of knowledge and as an instance of being rather than becoming. Section I begins with discussions of knowledge and Heraclitus' conception of logos', section II is concerned with knowledge and unity. The two later sections of the paper explore the consequences of the account I attribute to Heraclitus: section III considers being, unity, and change; and section IV discusses Heraclitus' views of knowledge and sense perception.
