Heraklit, im Altertum der "Dunkle" genannt, ist einer der tiefsten
Denker Griechenlands. Diese Ausgabe stellt die von ihm erhaltenen
Fragmente vollstandig zusammen und versucht, sie durch moglichst
getreue Ubersetzung dem heutigen Leser zuganglich zu machen. "Diese
Weltordnung hier hat nicht der Gotter noch der Menschen einer
geschaffen, sondern sie war immer und ist und wird sein:
immerlebendes Feuer, aufflammendend nach Massen und verloschend
nach Massen. Feuers Wende: zuerst Meer; des Meeres eine Halfte
Erde, die andere flammendes Wetter... Das Meer zerfliesst und
erfullt sein Mass nach demselben Sinn, der auch galt, bevor es Erde
wurde." B 30, 31"
European thought begins with the Greeks. Scientific and philosophic
thinking--the pursuit of truth and the grasping of unchanging
principles of life--is a historical development, an achievement;
and, as Bruno Snell writes in The Discovery of the Mind, nothing
less than a revolution. The Greeks did not take mental resources
already at their disposal and merely map out new subjects for
discussion and investigation. In poetry, drama, and philosophy they
in fact discovered the human mind.
The stages in man's gradual understanding of himself are
revealed in the course of ancient literature from Homer to Virgil.
A rational view of the nature of man slowly established itself in
the creations of epic and lyric poetry, tragedy and literary
criticism, pre-Socratic thought, and early Greek ethics all the way
to the discovery of humanitas and the spiritual landscape of
Virgil's Arcadia. The Discovery of the Mind is a landmark work in
tracing this evolution of consciousness--one of the distinguishing
characteristics of the history of man.

English summary: Snell's magnum opus The Discovery of the Mind was
in 1946 important for the reorientation of the postwar generation
wrote DIE ZEIT upon Bruno Snell's 90th birthday in 1986. His
continuously expanded compilations, dealing with studies on the
formation of the European spirit by the Greeks, have since been
translated into many world languages. Sixty years after their,
first publication they have not lost inspiration. For his student
Walter Jens, The Discovery of the Mind is the work of a Hellenist,
who is also an excellent writer. German description: Snells
Hauptwerk Die Entdeckung des Geistes war 1946 wichtig fur die
Neuorientierung der Nachkriegsgeneration, befand DIE ZEIT zu Bruno
Snells 90. Geburtstag 1986. Seine in diesem Buch zusammengestellten
und immer wieder erweiterten Studien zur Entstehung des
europaischen Geistes bei den Griechen sind seither in alle
Weltsprachen ubersetzt worden. Sie haben auch sechzig Jahre nach
ihrer Erstveroffentlichung nichts von ihrer Inspiration verloren.
Fur seinen Schuler Walter Jens ist Die Entdeckung des Geistes das
Buch eines Grazisten, der ein vorzuglicher Schriftsteller ist. Die
hier vorliegende 9. Auflage ist gegenuber der 8. Auflage
unverandert.
