Heraclitus believes in ............... . (1) Harmony and opposites (2) Only one reality (3) All is flow and becoming (4) The doctrine of flux Codes :
(1), (3) and (4)
(1) Harmony and opposites - Heraclitus holds it. Reality is a tension of opposites (day-night, war-peace), and their strife produces a hidden harmony, 'like that of the bow and the lyre', governed by the Logos.
(2) Only one reality - this is not his characteristic doctrine. The thesis of one, unchanging reality with change as illusion is that of Parmenides and the Eleatics, the very opposite of Heraclitus.
(3) All is flow and becoming - he holds it. 'Panta rhei': everything flows; becoming, not static being, is the nature of things, symbolised by ever-living fire.
(4) The doctrine of flux - he holds it. 'You cannot step twice into the same river' expresses his doctrine of perpetual change.
Hence, the answer is (1), (3) and (4).
