Question

Description acceptable. In “A New Refutation of Time,” Jorge Luis Borges praises this statement’s “dialectical skill” while discussing the memories conjured by his walks around his neighborhood. In the final paragraph of Fear and Trembling, Søren Kierkegaard (15[1])uses this statement and a later refinement of it (15[1])to illustrate the philosophical impulse to “go further.” Jonathan Barnes stated his preference among Diels and Kranz’s three renderings of this statement by citing its originator’s similar passage about an emulsified drink disintegrating. (15[1])This statement was strengthened to a seemingly (*) nonsensical version (10[1])by a radical disciple (10[1])of its originator named Cratylus. This statement (10[1])is the best-known illustration of a “weeping philosopher’s” (10[1])view that panta rhei, (10[1])or “everything (10[1])flows,” as well as his doctrine of flux. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this aphorism attributed to Heraclitus about entry into a body of water. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: you cannot step in the same river twice [accept equivalent descriptions that mention the inability to enter the same river twice or that a river is never the same twice; accept panta rhei or everything flows until read; prompt on Heraclitus’s doctrine of flux] (Cratylus amended Heraclitus’s claim to “you cannot step in the same river even once.”)
