Abstract
INTERPETATION OF HERACLITUS’ FRAGMENTS AT PHILOSOPHY CLASSES
The article presents an analysis of the assignment, Hermeneutic Interpretation of Heraclitus’ Fragments, within the course ‘Readings and Analysis in Philosophical Texts I’ offered in the 2015/16 academic year at the newly opened Department of Philosophy, the Faculty of Literature in Bartin University. The course aims at making the famous and important texts in Philosophy, i.e. 130 fragments byHeraclitus that have survived to the present due to so called “traditional sources dating back to post-Platon period”, more understandable and fulfill in that way the contemporary needs in philosophical education.
Based on their individual preferences, students are free to select a specific fragment(s) in order to complete a written or oral practical assignment aimed at further independent interpretation of the chosen fragment and summarizing the data on it on the basis of the theoretical materials offered at the class.
