Here we look at the second Pre-Socratic philosopher: Anaximander.
A fascinating philosopher and scientist from Miletus, who had some interesting things to say about Thales' quest for the ultimate "stuff" the world was made off.

You make very good summaries. You mention a lot of details most channels ignore. Keep up the good work!

late to the party, but that's the most dramatic rendition of Pop Goes the Weasel I think I've ever heard.
Yea, my videos from 2018/2019 had their background music a little louder than I'm doing these days.
wow, if there was a possibility I would like it multiple times!
amazing!
Incredibly insightful and clear video.
Thoughtful and deeply instructive series. Many thanks for sharing. I subscribed and will check for more videos.
Het is wel grappig en interessant om een korte blik te werpen in de denkwijzen
van deze geleerden uit het verre verleden
your videos are so great!!
The thorny bark capsule idea isn't too far off from the modern idea that eggs had to evolve before amphibious animals could become fully land dwelling though
great video. After just leaning Ancient Greek for just a few days, I feel excited to see the word άπειρον.
Best video! i guess I'm gonna cover greek philosophy from your channel
You explain things very nicely.
Glad to hear that!
Thank you so much for this video
Glad you liked it!
You are the best!!
Thanks for the good content! Succinct, objective but covers the main aspects.
Fragments - i remember his evolutionary belief, thanks
Wow Anaximander was a real OG. Original Genius, sorry Thales.
I love the pre-socratics, there's something so wonderfully childlike about their problem solving!
Also, let's be honest here, no one ever "discovered" anything, ideas are in everyone's mind and they have an ebb and flow to them, they become shared and accepted, but thousands of people thought about a concept like evolution way before Darwin ever did - Darwin was simply the first to have all the various means of elaboraring and publishing his idea.
Their thinking wasn't as childlike as it might seem. They had to do some innovative work in the Greek language, sometimes inventing or modifying terms in order to develop a vocabulary for philosophical thinking and communication. In addition, thinking by way of analogy was common in the ancient world while we tend to think they're being literal about everything.
The Best!
We tend to reify our holistic perceptions into binary concepts. We reify the holistic perception of hotter and colder into the opposites of hot and cold. Hot is not cold and cold is not hot, and never the twain shall meet, whereas in Reality they are the complementary self- extensions that proceed from and return to meet in the middle of the Continuum we call 'temperature'. There is always some of each in the other, even if only a molecule or two.
The Divine is Infinite potential Eternally actualizing, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity.
I like how scientist today give live to an ancient myths. Or did they copy it and than just edit it to be modern🤔.
There are many particular ways of saying the universal. "All that could be thought has already been thought, the task is to think it again" - Goethe.
You should read a book called 'Zetetic Astronomy'
Why did you stop making these
All heat and cold and opposites come from arcate.... well if you translate this to our idea of most opposites being the result of energy difference, then...it all did come from the big bang
Seems like Jedism
was Thales implying that early life lived in a coconut?
I don't remember that particular detail, though there are a lot of stories about Thales scattered throughout ancient literature.
Sounds like the Akasha in Vedantic Hinduism.
Interesting, I should read more about Hindu/Indian philosophy :)
@@SolomonsCave Let me suggest Schopenhauer's favorite reading - "The Upanishads".
