Who is anaximenes?

well, nobody asked the question so I'm gonna answer my question According to the surviving sources on his life, Anaximenes flourished in the mid 6th century B.C.E. and died about 528. He is the third philosopher of the Milesian School of philosophy, so named because like Thales and Anaximander, Anaximenes was an inhabitant of Miletus, in Ionia (ancient Greece). Theophrastus notes that Anaximenes was an associate, and possibly a student, of Anaximander's. Anaximenes is best known for his doctrine that air is the source of all things. In this way, he differed with his predecessors like Thales, who held that water is the source of all things, and Anaximander, who thought that all things came from an unspecified boundless stuff.

What subjects from ancient times did humanist study and explore?

Did Thales have anything to do with the Pythagorean Theorem?

While the historical record is unclear about precise influences, it seems likely that Thales of Miletus (circa 620-546 BC/BCE) had some impact on the thinking of the apparent discoverer of the Pythagorean Theorem, namely, Pythagoras (circa 570-495). Given the prestige of Thales in his day, along with his own careful research into mathematical theorems, it is reasonable to conclude that Pythagoras was inspired, and perhaps much more, by the mathematical work of Thales.


Why was Thales of Miletus?

While few details are known about Thales of Miletus, a legendary anecdote (or, story) has been told about him through the centuries. One day, the legend runs, being so focused on the skies above him, Thales fell into a well. Those looking on laughed at him and, so the legend goes, drew the conclusion that it is foolish to study higher things if one can't see where one's feet should be placed on the earth.

Anaximander of Miletus beliefs on God?

Anaximander of Miletus believed in a fundamental principle called the "Boundless" or "Infinite," which he considered the source of all things in the universe and viewed as a kind of cosmic order. While not explicitly focused on a personal god like in some religious beliefs, Anaximander's concept of the Boundless can be interpreted as a form of metaphysical or philosophical deity.


What geometer was born in Turkey?

I believe the following geometers were born in turkey; Thales of Miletus (c. 630-c 550) Anaximander of Miletus (c. 610-c. 547) Anaximenes of Miletus (fl. c. 546)) Miletus was a town in the area where today Turkey is. But it is wrong to say that Anaximander was born in Turkey because we mix ancient time and modern space. It is correct to say that Asia Minor, which today is a part of Turkey, was the birthplace of Apollonius born in Perga , Aytolycus born in Pitane , Hipparchus born in Nicaea . But the most famous geometer, perhaps, is Thales of Miletus.
