Heraclitus and Parmenides an ontic perspective

The essay explores the contrasting philosophies of Heraclitus and Parmenides, often characterized by the notions of constant change versus static existence. It adopts a descriptive approach that emphasizes the ontic aspect of their fragments, suggesting that both philosophies can be reconciled. The author argues that while change is evident in the world, it does not equate to annihilation but rather to transformation into different forms of being. Additionally, the discussion incorporates references to 20th-century philosophy to support this integrated interpretation.
