7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 1. Nature of Change

2063	How can beauty have identity if it changes? [Plato]
	Full Idea: If beauty never stays the same, how can it be something?
	From: Plato (Cratylus [c.377 BCE], 439e)
	A reaction: A rather Platonic question! I presume that Heraclitus had a sense of beauty, and things regarded as 'sublime' are often tumultuous.
