  hylozoism - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Some of the ancient Greek philosophers taught a version of hylozoism.
Thales, Anaximenes, and Heraklitus all taught that there is a form of life in all material objects, and the Stoics believed that a world soul informed all things in the world.
It is important to note that these philosophies did not necessarily hold that material objects had separate life or identity, necessarily, but only that they had life, either as part of an overriding entity or as living but insensible entities.

His great hierophantic pronouncement, "The sun has the breadth of a human foot" may have been "The sun is the width of my foot" before some "New Age" doxographer of the third century BC decided to improve on what he had before him.
Robinson's determination to present Heraklitus as an early Blobovian swells to Zemblan proportions when he claims that "Every animal is driven to the pasture with a blow" is "a powerful metaphysical statement concerning the cosmos."

 Heraklitus * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
A Greek poet and philosopher from Ephesus circa 540-480 BCE; known as Heraklitus the Obscure, his work comes down to us in fragments, mostly from short quotes cited by other authors such as Plato.
Heraklitus believed in the concept of perpetual change in all things; he believed that the only abiding permanent feature of reality was the Logos, or orderly principle, according to which all change takes place.
For the complete collection of his extant poems I suggest the book “7 Greeks” by Guy Davenport (ISBN 0811212882); this book can be found at your library in section 881 or you can order this book through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.

However, the large definition is qualified by Yeats’s concern for history and its ghosts, Anglo-Irish and more personal: dead poets, mages and the like, whose claims must be exorcized.
Before we arrive at direct interrogation of the poems, we have to edge past Young’s own circus animals: Plato, St John, Heraklitus, and the more modish Nietzsche, Eliot, Donne.
Darling of the Symbolist poets and artists: Mallarmé, Rodenbach, Pol de Mont, all praise Fuller: her use of veils and electricity vaporized the body.

 Jacket 28 - October 2005 - Letters from Robert Duncan to Chris Edwards, 1977-1980 (excerpts)
Not from philosophy, but from contemporary microbiology do I get the term “multivalent analysis” — Nothing wrong with the extension of analyses that Marx and Freud provide except for their monotheistic one-way insistence that can only give way to splits and heresies, internal crises.
It would sooner or later be an impossible job to make a case for my being a true Blakean, for the Natural world, which Blake so abhord, is I believe the ground of all spirit and psyche.
And in the history of ideas — Cassirer and Foucault (tho he does seem glib over against the order of Cassirer’s mind) — it is a romance I am in quest of.

 Rhetoric, Politics, Ethics 2005: Abstract
As practices through which we explore the implications of our own liminality, the negations of sleeping and reading are surprisingly understudied.
Sleep scientists and philosophers from Heraklitus to Maurice Blanchot remind us that we habitually reverse the active dynamics of sleep to describe it as a largely passive experience charged with our recovery from, and readying for, another day.
When we read, it is our own imaginative construction of an internal fictional world that we occlude or fail to register, much as we occlude ourselves from the scene when in the act of sleep-sustaining dreaming.

Neither tree plantations or old growth forests can remain unchanging.
Of course, thousands of years earlier, Heraklitus noted that everything changes.
And Alfred North Whitehead made change the basis of his metaphysics.

Ray DiPalma's 'cypher' moves elegantly from self-reflective irony to earnest speculation.
He speculates on time, paradox, and measurements, just like Heraklitus.
And like that good man, he likes to watch it move.

This quote shows his common theme of relativism.
Heraklitus shows that there is consistency between those things which seem to be in opposition - the bow and the lyre are held in place by opposite tensions, yet they are stable and each is capable of performing because of those opposite tensions.
Throughout Greek literature and art, the struggle between order and chaos seems to be ever-present.

Since computing is so closely related to math (Plato loved those Pythagoreans), the hope that programs won't need to be rewritten might just be an artifact of the history of ideas.
The reality of working with codes is more like Heraklitus', "all is flux." Especially in the high-performance computing world, which is quite a lot like H's river, constantly changing beneath your feet.
Fortunately, though permanence exists only as an ideal, there are ways to reduce the impermanence the industry tends towards in the relentless pursuit of progress.

 HEIDEGGER,FRANCE, POLITICS, THE UNIVERSITY.
Victor Farias' book, "Heidegger et le nazisme" claims to the be both the most complete and most revelatory, in-depth literary-historical analysis of Heidegger's political believes and activities, especially of his relation to National-Socialism.
Farias sets himself up as an ex-student of Heidegger, and, as Hugo Ott notes in the review4 we will discuss in more detail later on, Farias did take part in the seminar on Heraklitus which Heidegger taught together with Eugen Fink during the winter semester 1966/67 in Freiburg.
But this seems to be the only link to Heidegger: Farias graduated in 67 in Freiburg under Gerhardt Schmidt (a student of Eugen Fink's) with a thesis on Franz Brentano.

One day Kico and I set off in Copenhagen on Centurion bikes.
The gears really were good - in Zagreb kids were surprised when I overtook them on their Mountain Bikes.
I consistently return to Heraklitus’ fragments, and find similarities to his thought in playing with pebbles with children, building and tearing down little houses with yards,and feeding my SOUL with constructive spontaneous processes in moments of respite from frenetic BICYCLE riding.

Where you decide to measure its flow makes a big difference!
The early Greek philosopher Heraklitus wrote that you can't step in the same river twice.
In all the swirl of change that is a real river, it's a relief to realize that something must stay the same.

 Bible Cosmology Revisited
To explain the diurnal motion of the fixed stars, as they revolved around a point above the north pole, and the apparent motions of the sun and moon and planets, some philosophers invented "bowls" or spherical shells that revolved around the earth, and carried around the stars and other heavenly bodies.
At the beginning of the 5th century BC Heraklitus heaped scorn on the gods, and their cults amongst the Greeks, yet he discussed the concept of a "Divine Universe".
God is day night, winter summer, war peace, satiety hunger
