[1][2]
it became a technical term in philosophy, beginning with
Heraclitus
(ca. 535–475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and
knowledge.

Ancient
philosophers used the term in different ways. The
sophists
used the term to mean
discourse,
and
Aristotle
applied the term to refer to "reasoned discourse"
[4]
or "the argument" in the field of rhetoric.

philosophers identified the term with the
divine
animating principle pervading the Universe.
