Abstract

According to Heraclitus (fragment 91 DK): «It is not possible to step twice into the same river, nor is it possible to touch a mortal substance twice in so far as its state is concerned». If the change has neither beginning nor end, nothing ever starts to change and nothing ever starts to end, because endless beginnings would precede the first one, and since this one never entering game, the change would be impossible. According to Heraclitus, only the change is absolute, and therefore every interval is impossible. The wise man, giving form to the immense energy of desire, opens himself to  change, and in this way he makes sense of human “glory without time”. This is the first heroic nihilism.
