Document Summary
Fragment 2: come now, i will tell thee and do thou hearken to my saying and carry it away the only two ways of search that can be thought of. The rst, namely, that being is, and that it is impossible for anything not to be. [that] is the way of conviction, for thrush is its companion. The other, namely, is that being is not, and that something may not be. That, i tell thee, is a wholly untrustworthy path. Belongs together with, or is perhaps even the same as thought. You cannot trust the senses; logic shows us that change is contradictory. The only way that change can be real is if what cannot be can be. Being and nous are made for each other; they correspond to each other. Can sweepingly throw things away because they don"t t the logic. Mortal opinion is any thinking that takes change seriously.
