Anaximander's explanation of the physical world without referencing the supernatural, like that of other early material monists, opened the way for much of modern science.
So, Apeiron can be the god particle from the higgs boson? Does that mean we're still as clueless about that as we were in the Middle Ages and that now we just change the term to 'dark matter' or smthng?
"some thinkers didn't like how vague and difficult the apeiron was to define" Heraclitus realized that, and took it to himself to make twice as vague and obscure.
A theory of everything is very popular in physics today and is heavily desired by physicists to give an all-encompassing explanation of the universe. Could we say though that the early Greek philosophers of Ancient Greece were some of the first humans to propose a ‘Theory of Everything’? For example, does Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles (and much more) have a Theory of Everything? Would it be fair or justified to claim that those philosophers all had a ‘Theory of Everything?’ Another area in Greek philosophical thought that could help with answering this question is the idea of the ‘Arche’. This is usually defined as the ‘first principle’ in metaphysical thought (isn’t this what Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles did?). However, it was Aristotle who first defined this term. So, is the idea of a search for the Arche, the principle, an Aristotelian construct?
When You say invented the idea of Space!! There are texts dating way before 10th BC (Vedas) which have accurately calculated the distance between Sun And Earth using Heliocentric Model while Greek Civilization was just born!
That is one of Gustave Doré's most famous illustrations, based on Dante's Paradiso, Canto XXXI. I selected this image because it represents the 'beatific vision,' and I believe Anaximander had a beatific vision of the arche. I don't know if it has a name, but you may find the image and many others on the following page: www.worldofdante.org/gallery_dore.html
Hi Anj, Some clarification: Anaximander certainly wasn't the first person to think about the stars, planets or their relationship to the Earth. We know that previous cultures were fascinated by all these things, and developed cosmological accounts for them. Anaximander is the first known person to think of these things as spatially oriented, or spread out in three dimensions with vast distances between them; thus, it's fair to say he was the first person to think of "space" as such, even if he wasn't the first to think about stars and planets.
This is true. Watch my video on Thales for more background on that. There is a difference between the lower 'g' gods of the Greek pantheon, and the God of classical philosophers.
Long before Anaximander these ideas existed in India . Please stop the lies Anaximander being a subject of the Persian empire and Persian empire extended from taxicab to turkey
I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy a few years ago, and this video was well done and informative! Please continue to share!
I'm glad that you approve. Will you be writing a book?
Agree. Explained a nuanced topic dealing with an investigation on nature itself with very concise matter. 👍
Anaximander's explanation of the physical world without referencing the supernatural, like that of other early material monists, opened the way for much of modern science.
Really SERIOUSLY appreciate these videos please don't stop!
Right choice of background music, it helps the concentration! Great video, very informative.
I wrote it myself! I'm glad you found it appropriate.
Your video deserves more views that what it has. The way you explain and present is exceptional. Great Job.
Brilliant videos, well-scripted, lovely suspense background music, clear visuals, beautiful.
Woah, just checked to see if there were any uploads, had almost lost hope after such a wait. Well worth it though.
This is superb. Thank you for such a thorough, well-researched video.
Wow, this guy speaks so fast I had to check and see if my speed was on 1.5 x ....crazy
Good video! Looking forward to some more content.
make more videos they really help me study!!!
Simple and rich. Thanks, and please continue. Such a way of conveying knowledge !

Great video! It really helps me study!
ilove the background music
The problem i have now is that this video didn't pop up before my pre-socratic exams🤦
This video is amazing!
please make , more philosophy video/!!
Thanks so much for this video 💖💖💖
It's really helping me in school
The Apeiron sounds a lot like the quantum wave. It's amazing the amount of intuition that these pre-socratics had.
Great Philosopher
Good vid, jist turn down the music a little bit
When You say invented the idea of Space!!
There are texts dating way before 10th BC (Vedas) which have accurately calculated the distance between Sun And Earth using Heliocentric Model while Greek Civilization was just born!
Anybody know the name of the artwork at 4:41 ?
That is one of Gustave Doré's most famous illustrations, based on Dante's Paradiso, Canto XXXI.

apeiron = the force (starwars) its also known as Panentheism
Isn’t Apieron “quantum physics” he deduced “quantum” ?
Nice video thanks bro you helped me out
great video!!
Wow... the first known person to think of outer space...

'Vague' is adequate when you're guessing.
Plz can we know more about anaxi
Cepet banget hahahh
do you want to know more about philosophy come and take a look at my database
What did he think about consciousness?
Can anyone identify the painting at 4:48?
Circle of Angels by Gustave Doré
It's an illustration for Dante's paradise.
Thank you!
i have my internals tom :)
precursor about god? gods were a thing already
This is true. Watch my video on Thales for more background on that. There is a difference between the lower 'g' gods of the Greek pantheon, and the God of classical philosophers.
so basically we are apeiron we were apeiron and everything is apeiron and nothing has meaning
Thank you for the video; please cut out the music. It is so distracting by its uglynes
Apeiron sounds like the background fractals you see on acid.Interesting
Long before Anaximander these ideas existed in India . Please stop the lies
Anaximander being a subject of the Persian empire and Persian empire extended from taxicab to turkey
annoying music4
