[MD] The Myth of Reason

[X Acto]

To all,
In my essay "the function of form" I trace the origins of SOM
To the Hebrew word "is" and how it effected Greek thought.
In it I state that Parmenides concluded that "is" or being or
awareness, always was. That logos, the common understanding, 
the abstract, always existed.
Plato argued that logos was form. Aristotle maintained that it
was the arguement from the particular experience to a universal
understanding.
Logos is the root word of logic. Logos in christianity was made flesh
and worshiped as God.
Parmenides maintained that the only way to realize truth was through
abstract thought, through reason.
Logos is the pivotal Greek ideal that wrought SOM.
The worship of logic as God

Heraclitus popularized the word and as I believe was often misunderstood.
Heraclitus proclaimed that the world was constatnly in flux and that only through
the abstract universal understanding of things may any sort of order be derived.
He stated:
"all things come to pass in accordance with this word" and "the word is common."
It is "the account which governs the universe (ta hola, the whole)."
