Fragments

A scholarly translation even if it's dated, the notes are linked to each fragment and easy to access and close again. The Greek text is at the end. I didn't read the whole introduction which is doubtless a bit dated by now; nonetheless this translation of the text itself is fine and helpful, and as others have said, all you need. It's only a small text (of fragments) after all.

This will fall on many as unreadable or not understandable.BUT, for those willing to put in the time, there are many pearls of wisdom within.

Enjoy reading old quotes from the ancient Greeks. You can certainly apply some of the quotes to today's world. Not all quotes are interpreted the same, read the book and see what you may come up with.

It's the fragments. Even here they've packed it with filler and footnotes. If it's not on Libby get the cheap copy.

This book lives up to the title. It's just fragments. If you want a philosophical discourse that might be life changing, go to The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius or the works of Epictetus.

Best.

Bought this looking for fragments from Heraclitus. Inside is a bunch of stuff written by other people. Looked in the table of contents for “here are the fragments of Heraclitus we promised.” I would have preferred just having the fragments personally.

Font is small, bunched up, not well thought out on how to put this book together.
