Logos

Definition

Reason, word, or principle; the rational structure underlying reality and human thought.

Explanation

Heraclitus saw logos as the universal reason governing change. Stoics identified it with divine providence ordering the cosmos. In Christian philosophy, the Gospel of John identifies Christ with the Logos. The term gives us 'logic' and '-ology.'

I live among shadows and broken certainties. I speak little, I think too much. Each text is a failed attempt to translate what I can't even fully feel.
