In Greek philosophy, the term Logos carried a rich background of meaning. It was used by thinkers like [[Heraclitus]] to denote the rational principle or order underlying the universe. Later, [[Stoicism|Stoic]] philosophers expanded on this idea, viewing the Logos as a divine force or reason that pervades and organizes all of existence. | In Greek philosophy, the term Logos carried a rich background of meaning.
