Аннотация: The article analyzes the interpretation of Heraclitus’s logos by a Russian philosopher A Aleksey Losev. He characterizes Heraclitus’s thinking as syncretic — combining religious, aesthetic, and ontological elements. From the viewpoint of objective realism, Heraclitus’s logos is regarded by Losev as a symbol, or a philosopheme, that reflects the overwhelming cosmic law of life, and a divine thought at the same time. Losev concludes that Heraclitus’s logos is not just a means of expressing a meaning that exists distinctly from thought, but a living thought arising from a person’s involvement with language. Heraclitus’s logos is the truth of existence that is beyond our comprehension but is miraculously manifested in language as a potential for every meaning and thing.
