Parmenides description of Doxa
>But you from this way of inquiry restrain your understanding,/ and do not let habit born of much experience force you along this way,/ to employ aimless sight and echoing hearing/ and tongue. But judge by reason the strife-filled critique/ I have delivered” (fr. 7).
Aeschylus on men before Prometheus introduced reason
>H]umans in the beginning had eyes but saw / to no purpose; they had ears but did not hear” (447-48). But fire provided humanity with the light they needed to see.
Fire = reason
Not literal fire but reason.
