Anaximander
Anaximander of Miletus is the second Greek philosopher we know of, and he had some astoundingly ambitious ideas about the natural world that far exceed those of his predecessor and master, Thales. In this video, Dr. Foxwede goes through his fantastical contributions to human knowledge: a cosmology of fiery tyres, an early theory of evolution, a prose work with a theory of everything (the first of its kind in the Greek world), and the first well-preserved attempt at philosophical argumentation. From all this, it is clear that Anaximander is a monumental thinker of archaic Greece, and certainly the most important philosopher from Miletus out of his three contemporaries. Although you might disagree; well then, clearly incommensurable standards are at play. Never mind.

Introduction to Thales, Anaximenes, and Anaximander
In this lecture we investigate the ideas of the first three Presocratics, who are referred to as the Milesians: Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes. In particular, we will explain how they were in search of the arche, or the underlying source and origin of the world. Furthermore, we will show how the Milesians were engaged in the same search which modern theoretical physicists are engaged in today.

Carlo Rovelli presents Anaximander and the Nature of Science
This event took place on the 23rd of February 2023. The information below is correct as of the publication date.
The theoretical physicist and bestselling author Carlo Rovelli talks about his entirely original reading of the little known ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander which puts this early thinker on a par with Newton, Galileo and Einstein and asserts his foundational influence on the history of western thought.
In the 6th century BCE, Anaximander’s insights paved the way for cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology and biology. He not only conceived for the first time that the Earth is a rock, suspended in space, but also that animals evolve, that storms and earthquakes are natural (not supernatural), proposed the cycle of water, and drew the first map of the known world. Above...

Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks is one of the more obscure texts in Friedrich Nietzsche’s corpus. There are many good reasons for this: it is unfinished, and ends abruptly; it was never published; and it concerns subject matter that is not as immediately accessible as Nietzsche’s more popular writings. You will not find his major concepts in this work – such as the will to power, or the critique of metaphysics - except insofar as those ideas appear in the background, inchoate, unnamed… not yet fully formed. In Nietzsche’s interpretation of the Pre-Platonic philosophers of Ancient Greece, we find the starting place for his later philosophical career. The inspiration for many of those great ideas, can arguably be found in his exegesis of these extraordinary figures from the Hellenic world, from the 6th to the 4th century BC. In this series we’ll consider Nietzsche’s view of Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, Empedocles & Democritus.

Teach Astronomy - Anaximander
http://www.teachastronomy.com/
The oldest surviving fragment of philosophy dates back to Anaximander in the sixth century BC. Anaximander wrote that the universe was made of a primordial substance and that this primordial substance was infinite in extent. This is the first known use of the concept of infinity in science. He also supposed that the primordial substance had no intrinsic color, odor, or weight, that these were all secondary attributes, another strikingly modern idea. He also wrote about how the universe was subject to the warring opposites of order and chaos. These words come down to us today. The Greek word cosmos comes from the word for order, and the word chaos comes from the Greek word meaning disorder or disharmony. To the earliest Greek philosophers the universe wa...

The Anaximenes.
Anaximenes of Miletus (586 – 526 BC) was an Ancient Greek, Ionian Pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), active in the latter half of the 6th century BC. The details of his life are obscure because none of his work has been preserved. Anaximenes' ideas are only known today because of comments about him made by later writers, such as Aristotle.
As the last of the three philosophers of the Milesian School, considered the first philosophers of the Western world, Anaximenes is best known and identified as a younger friend or student of Anaximander, who was himself taught by the first philosopher Thales. Each developed a distinct cosmology without completely rejecting their predecessors views. Each were material monists who sought to discover the Arche; the o...

MEET EMPEDOCLES WHO BELIEVED IN A WORLD MADE OF 4 ELEMENTS
Empedocles was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century BC. He was known for his theories on cosmology and the nature of the universe. Empedocles believed that all matter was made up of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. He also proposed the concept of love and strife as the driving forces behind the creation and destruction of the world.
In his famous poem, "On Nature," Empedocles described the cyclical nature of the universe, with the elements constantly mixing and separating. He believed that everything in the world was governed by these elemental forces, including human emotions and the growth of plants and animals.
Empedocles' ideas were highly influential and laid the foundation for later philosophers, such as Aristotle. His theories on the elements and th...

Anaximenes of Miletus
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The Beautiful Worlds of Ancient Greek Philosophy
The Presocratic philosophers were some of the first people to seek explanations in nature instead of myth. Where does the universe come from? How is it structured? Why does it contain so many different things? Their answers to these questions reveal an ancient way of seeing the world. As alien as their ideas may seem today, they remain fascinating 2,500 years later. This video presents the cosmologies of some prominent Presocratic philosophers in roughly chronological order.

http://www.teachastronomy.com/
The oldest surviving fragment of philosophy dates back to Anaximander in the sixth century BC. Anaximander wrote that the universe was made of a primordial substance and that this primordial substance was infinite in extent. This is the first known use of the concept of infinity in science. He also supposed that the primordial substance had no intrinsic color, odor, or weight, that these were all secondary attributes, another strikingly modern idea. He also wrote about how the universe was subject to the warring opposites of order and chaos. These words come down to us today. The Greek word cosmos comes from the word for order, and the word chaos comes from the Greek word meaning disorder or disharmony. To the earliest Greek philosophers the universe was a balance between the forces of order and disorder.

Anaximenes of Miletus (586 – 526 BC) was an Ancient Greek, Ionian Pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in
Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), active in the latter half of the 6th century BC. The details of his life are obscure because none of his work has been preserved. Anaximenes' ideas are only known today because of comments about him made by later writers, such as
Aristotle.
As the last of the three philosophers of the Milesian School, considered the first philosophers of the Western world, Anaximenes is best known and identified as a younger friend or student of Anaximander, who was himself taught by the first philosopher Thales. Each developed a distinct cosmology without completely rejecting their predecessors views. Each were material monists who sought to discover the Arche; the one, underlying physical yet divine basis of everything. Thales proposed all was made of water; Anaximander proposed all was made of apeiron or something indefinite rather than something specific, and Anaximenes proposed all was made of air, or literally aer which may also include mist or vapor. More condensed air made for colder, denser objects and more rarefied air made for hotter, lighter objects.
Much of his astronomical thought was based on Anaximander's, though he altered Anaximander's astrological ideas to better fit his own philosophical views on physics and the natural world. Anaximenes believed the Earth was flat like a disc and rode on air like a frisbee. The Anaximenes crater on the Moon is named in his honor.
Some of Anaximenes' writings are referenced during the Hellenistic Age, but no record of these documents currently exist. Apollo Dorus of Damascus estimated Anaximenes' lifespan as having flourished during the same time period in which Cyrus the Great defeated Croesus at the Battle of Thymbra in 546 BC. Philosophy may have spread elsewhere because Miletus was captured by the Persian army in 494 BC.

Anaximenes of Miletus (; Greek: Ἀναξιμένης ὁ Μιλήσιος; c. 585 – c. 528 BC) was an Ancient Greek Pre-Socratic philosopher active in the latter half of the 6th century BC. One of the three Milesian philosophers, he is identified as a younger friend or student of Anaximander. Anaximenes, like others in his school of thought, practiced material monism. This tendency to identify one specific underlying reality made up of a material thing is what Anaximenes is principally known for today.
