| Sumario: | An instance of a method for the study of ancient thinking on grounds of lexical analysis from the point of view of structural Semantics. The philosophical vocabulary of Heraclitus and the relations of opposition among words as well as their different distributions are stablished; in those relations are included also the cases of neutralization as well as the remains of old prephilosophical senses. The philosophy of Heraclitus is described then as dualist philosophy: the "kosmos" is constituted by an unitarian "substratum" (expressed as Fire, sometimes more abstractally as One) and by a structural level, the "logos", which indicates the relations among cach pair of opposed terms and the total of the relations inside the unitarian "substratum". At the same time, the "logos" acts as norm or law of evolution, because there is no distinction between synchrony and diachrony. The "logos" never acts as agent, Fire only secondarily: the "logos" «is», the Fire «is» or «becomes». The traditional idea of God and the divine is inserted only secondarily in this cheme, producing certain modifications. To sum up, the "arkhé" of older philosophers, more or less identified with divinity, is maintained sometimes under the form of Fire, sometimes, as the One; next to it appears a second principle, the "logos", that is, the relation or structure of the elements within the "arkhé". |
