Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze how and in what extent Heraclitus’ ideas relates to ancient Stoicism, understanding that many concepts that arise in the stoics has clear Heraclitic inspiration. It will be seen, for example, that the idea of homologizing with the universal logos – this one that appears in everything that surround us, but which is usually silenced by our particular-narcissistic lógos – will reappear through the Stoic conception that the happy life consists in conforming to nature and living in harmony with it. In addition, the concept of fantasy will also find Heraclitic echoes, since knowing how to recognize and judge fantasies correctly is nothing more than letting the logos of things themselves speak, since it is in them (and only from them) that we find the truth. In this sense, in a first moment I will make an explanation about Heraclitus and his philosophy, to, in a second moment, present some of the philosophical doctrines of stoicism. Therefore, I will relate both philosophies, hoping to generate a homology between them capable of making us hear-perceive the similarities that emanate from them.
