Anaximander A Philosophers

Anaximander

Anaximander of Miletus, c. 611 BCE to c. 547 BCE. Along with Thales and Anaximenes, he is one of the three great Milesian Presocratic thinkers. Judging from surviving fragments, he taught that all earthly variation comes from self-transformations of the Unbounded.
