Logos is a Greek word with many meanings, the most basic of which are:
- Word
- Argument
- Discourse
- Language
- Reason
To get an idea and understand the meaning of this term, the opening sentence of the Gospel of John “In the beginning was the Word (Logos) and the Word became flesh” could help us.
This use clearly shows that in the West the Logos is one of the names of God. This word is also used to express the ability that distinguishes human beings from all other living beings.
