Who this is
“Everything flows — and that is not chaos. The river stays the same because the water keeps changing.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The world is not a stable thing but an ordered process — a ceaseless, law-governed exchange in which opposites need each other, and hidden behind the flux is a single rational pattern, the logos, that most people sleep through.”
