This is a course I've made for discussion, so please leave comments below. Some of the ideas of Anaximander, 'the Father of Cosmology', are introduced and several questions are open for debate. The level is upper intermediate. 1) Where does everything come from, and where does it go to? 2) Do you believe in many worlds? In what way? 3) Do you believe in Darwin's theory of evolution? What do you think about other scientific theories like The Big Bang, or Black Holes, or Dark Matter? 4) Are we all born imperfect? Is our death a way of expiating our guilt? 5) What do you think are the limits of Science or Philosophy? How would you define them?

Great Philosophers: 5 Minute Philosophy No.2: Anaximander, the Infinite, Pupil of Thales

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:39
Updated: 03 Feb 2015

Great Philosophers: 5 Minute Philosophy No.2: Anaximander, the Infinite, Pupil of Thales: Anaximander thought of the universe as being infinite and made up of no particular substance in particular. He thought the main elements of earth, air, water and so on were generated by the interaction of hot and cold. These elements interact with each other in a kind of cosmic justice. He was a pupil of Thales of Miletus. He speculated on the origins of mankind and developed an account of the celestial system. He wrote a book called On Nature and he was the first person to create a map of the stars and of the world. He was the first philosopher to think that there were principles or rules that governed the universe. He came u[ with the principle of the infinite being the main principle of the universe. He said that the universe is infinite, eternal and ageless and contains all worlds. And this principle of the infinite, governs all things. All things in the universe are infinite and there is an eternal motion which drives the heavens into being. He thought the world was not supported by anything but existed where it was because it was equidistance from other things. He thought it was round like a stone pillar. He thought that all things are destroyed and generated from time immemorial and are constantly being renewed. He didn’t think there was any underlying property to the universe except for its infiniteness. He observed that the four elements of earth air, fire and , water constantly change into each other and therefore didn’t think any of them was this underlying elements of everything. Instead he thought that everything was in motion and this motion caused elements to change their forms. He thought that winds are formed when vapours of air gather and move together and that rain comes from vapour sent up by the sun. He thought that lighting is the result of wind moving the clouds apart. He thought that the universe was infinite because Time is infinite. Numbers and divisions of magnitude seem to be infinite. He though the world and the heavenly bodies was generated by a circle of fire and it grew from a ball of fire from which cold and hot separated forming the world and then the sun and the moon and stars also came into being, And that the world is stationary but it is surrounded by a circle like the wheel of a cart which is a rim of fire. He also came up with a crude forerunner of the theory of evolution. He believed that humans were created by moisture a d that humans originally looked like fish and in fact came from fish. He believed that originally the world was all liquid and that as the waters dried up, the fish adapted to the drier conditions, and their ins eventually turned onto legs and they went up onto dry land. He therefore thought that people shouldn’t eat fish because they were our Fathers and Mothers.

Updated: 16 Nov 2014

Here we go ! Another one of our ORIGINAL songs ! This is Anaximander , recorded live at the Santomato Live Contest ! Music by Federico Giusti & Matteo Paolieri Lyrics by Matteo Paolieri Lyrics : ANAXIMANDER We don't know very much about him we just know some stuff because of Diogenes. Once he was in mountain, surrounded by the green he wondered: "How do the nature's world work?" So he took notes, he wrote, he looked around that place, and he found the earth to be floating in space. Once he was in a forest sitting on the floor try to find out the most ancient of the questions "where do we all come from?" He found we come from the ‡peiron, an infinite and indefinite origin, that's not a point in time, but a source that could give birth to everything. #RIT: Anaximander that was his name! He's the "Father of Cosmology", the founder of astronomy! He was an important philosopher who was always staring at the stars trying to sew up the humankind's scars! One day he was walking on the street the weather was bad, it started to sleet a thunderstorm broke out and he asked himself: "What are those sparkling lights in the sky?" "They aren't Gods, nor goddesses" he said, "Four elements are the key: fire, earth, water and wind". #RIT.

Carl Sagan teaches students in a classroom in his childhood home in Brooklyn, New York, which leads into a history of the different mythologies about stars and the gradual revelation of their true nature. In ancient Greece, some philosophers (Aristarchus of Samos, Thales of Miletus, Anaximander, Theodorus of Samos, Empedocles, Democritus) freely pursue scientific knowledge, while others (Plato, Aristotle, and the Pythagoreans) advocate slavery and epistemic secrecy.

Anaximander made [another] important discovery - the motions of Air are law-governed. They obey, in Heraclitus's words, an orderly pattern - a logos.This is the wider significance of the conjoint mechanisms of condensation and rarefaction. Condensation explains how air cools and precipitates into winds, clouds, water, and eventually, earth. Rarefaction accounts for the opposite process, explaining the dynamic genesis of the rare, the fiery elements of the world. Clouds are the product of compressed air just as Fire represents rarefied air and Stones the most dense state of Air.
