DIOGENES BEING VISITED BY ALEXANDER In a confrontation of two whole value systems, the conqueror of the world meets the philosopher who rejected worldly values, preferring to live like a dog.

“The world is a living fire,: Heraclitus is supposed to have said, while his most famous saying of all : “All things change: (Panta rhei) and :You cannot step into the same river twice,” make him the father of relativism: a relativism that teeters on the bank of embracing chaos. Heraclitus’s theory of Logos, his cryptic saying (which resemble those of the famous Oracle of Delphi, revealing how much philosophy and religion were still intermingled), and his love of paradox earned wide respect, if not exactly acceptance. They were so clever, in fact that the only way to answer the Heraclitean riddle of existence seemed to be challenge its entire foundation. This another thinker from one of the Greek cities in southern Italy, Elea, proceeded to do during Socrates’s own lifetime,. His name of Perimendis, and in answer to Heraclitus’s claim that everything changes, Parmenides countered by arguing that nothing changes.
