Fragments by Heraclitus
2.0
I want to be clear that this rating is not for Heraclitus. I don't want beef with Heraclitus. That man has bars. The rating is for this specific edition of his fragments.
I'm glad that other reviews highlight how dodgy the translation is, but even without them I could tell there was something fishy going on from the opening essays. We get treated to the idea that Heraclitus was basically a postmodernist and also that he essentially came up with Einstein's theory of relativity. Deeply silly stuff.
Some of the interesting stuff from Heraclitus still shines through but I'd avoid this edition.
