The Hericlitian position
|
All change is substantial change. There is no accidental change.
(Material objects have no unity or self identity). *An object DOES NOT stay the same from time 1 to time 2 to time 3...for ex: a piece of wood at second 1 is not the same at second 2* |
|
|
The Parmenidian position
|
There is no change AT ALL. Neither substantial nor accidental.
(All things are in unity and have self identity). |
|
|
What do we learn from Parmenides and Hericlitus?
|
If we don't have a conception of SUBSTANCE, then we either must deny change or deny stability.
