ORIGIN: Thales and his two successors were based out of the city of
Miletus, and hence they are known collectively as the Milesian
philosophers. Miletus is now known in modern times as Turkey.
COMMONALITIES:
-They are amongst the first philosophers in the pre-socratic era.
-They are Milesian Scholars. Thales was the first, and was succeeded by
Anaximander. Later on, Anaximedes succeeded Anaximander.
-They based their teachings upon their observation on what was going
on around them. In other words, nature. They were described as
Philosophers of Nature, in terms of methodologically observable
entities, and therefore were one of the first to attempt to make
philosophy truly scientific (through change of state)
DIFFERENCES IN BELIEFS:
-Although coming from the same school, because of curiousity as
humans, they differed one another with regards to their stand on the
fundamental thing that comprises everything in this world.
For Thales it was water. He believed that everything was made of water.
Anaximander, on the other hand, believed that there could be something
more than just water. He believed on something entirely different, and
he called it apeiron. Which translates to boundless or infinite.
And for Anaximenes, it was air. For him, it is all a matter of density,
with sufficiently compressed air turning into water and earth, and
sufficiently rarified air turning into fire.
