Abstract

Heraclitus, one of the oldest Greek philosophers whose legacy consists of only incoherent fragments, defines war through dualisms, giving us the possibility for a better understanding of this negatively perceived term. Heraclitus’ thoughts about war lead to dimensioning of the area of combat. Combat or the necessity for feud and conflict, according to Heraclitus, are essential for the world to function. In this paper, we explore Heraclitus’ fragments in which he is debating about war.
