Book Reviews of The Art and Thought of Heraclitus: An Edition of the Fragments with Translation and Commentary

Book Review: An excellent introduction
Summary: 5 Stars

Derek Jarman, the film director, used to say that in times of despair with regards to his AIDS condition he would turn to Heraclitus. This book is split into two parts. The first part lists the fragments of his prose, reading like fine Zen truths. The second section analyses each of the statements in a highly accessible way and the full context of his writings and guessed-at meanings are explained. As a way of introducing a reader to Heraclitus, I cannot imagine a better book.
