The Logos (n.) is, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠for Heraclitus, what philosophical discourse aims at beyond language — the divine, rational principle by which the world is ordered.

The Logos (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠meant one thing to Christians and anti-Christians alike: the first see Greek philosophers as unconscious theologians, the second see John as a clumsy imitator of philosophy.

Logos (n.) comes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in two wholly separate kinds — the Logos of violence and John's Logos — yet a continuity links them for mankind's sake, and only the separation makes it possible.

The Logos (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Heraclitus meant it binds opposites by violence — the reason of the closed city and later the nation, rooted in one soil and one tongue.

The Logos (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠John meant it is always the one expelled, and by being expelled it finally exposes expulsion itself.
