How would Heraclitus have responded to the following statement? “Heraclitus is wrong because the objects we see around us continue to endure through time; although a person, an animal, or a plant may change its superficial qualities, it still remains essentially the same person, animal, or plant throughout these changes. In fact, we recognize change only by contrasting it to the underlying permanence of things. So permanence, not change, is the essential reality.”
