Explore the foundational ideas of ancient Greek philosophy in this comprehensive overview of the Pre-Socratics. We'll delve into the works of thinkers who laid the groundwork for modern logic and science by moving away from mythical explanations and toward reason and observation.
The Milesian School: Discover the fundamental principles of Thales (water as the origin of all things), Anaximander (the Boundless and his theories on cosmology and geography), and Anaximenes (air as the primary substance).
The Contrast of Heraclitus and Parmenides: Examine the clashing views of these two giants. Heraclitus championed the idea of constant change ("you cannot step into the same river twice"), while Parmenides argued for the unchanging unity of being.
Zeno's Paradoxes: Understand how Zeno's famous paradoxes challenged the concepts of motion and plurality to support Parmenides' philosophy.
Other Key Thinkers: Learn about the number-based universe of the Pythagoreans and Empedocles' theory of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water).
Join us on a journey back in time to the thinkers who asked the first big questions and changed the way we understand the world.
