Abstract

The title of this paper refers to two different questions, in a somewhat paradoxical way. What's paradoxical is that, being unity its theme, it bifurcates from the beginning and is offered as a duality. On the one hand, there's unity as a specific theme in Heraclitus discourse. And, on the other hand, there's the internal coherence of thought expressed by the total set of preserved fragments, that is, unity as the congruence of the system with itself. In the first case, unity in Heraclitus philosophy assumes the fact that the one is a prominent content in more than ten textual fragments, susceptible of “monographical” interpretative treatment similar to the one that can be given to some other themes of the author –for example, fire, becoming, man, phusis or logos. The second case, unity of Heraclitus philosophy appears as a global feature in the assembly of the greatest themes in the totality of the fragments. Understood in this way, unity points towards the question for the philosophical and literary structure of the book, the internal logic and the “poetics” of Heraclitus philosophy. Does the Heraclitean concept of the one has something to do with unity (or absence of unity) in his thought and language on a semantic-structural level? In this work we intend to briefly approach to an analysis of both channels, and improve in this terrain in order to riskly give an answer to this question.
