Known as \u201cthe dark\u201d philosopher for his cryptic style and paradoxical ideas, Heraclitus viewed strife as fundamental to justice and saw fire as the primal element of existence. His legacy endures in the study of cosmology, metaphysics, and dialectics. ","author_name":"Dr. RR Baliga's 'Podkast for the Kurious Doc'.
