Water is the origin of all things

Philosophy is a complex philosophy is simple. Western Philosophy from a seemingly simple proposition - water is the origin of all things - the beginning, this is not even recognized by Hegel.   Made this proposition is called a philosopher Thales (Thales). He is also a result of this proposition and justifiably become the first Western philosopher. Years of his birth and death can no longer test history, but is generally believed that BC 585 is its peak years, a hundred years earlier than Socrates. He is said to be descendants of Phoenician established family, the decline was due to family financial situation by the ancient Greek Miletus. And Miletus, also founded a school of thought Yintailesi immortalizing.   Thales keen to study philosophy and natural, learned, as the "Seven Sages" one, and Solon par. In astronomy, he is the discoverer of Bear constellation, he first predicted a solar eclipse, the establishment of the winter solstice and summer solstice, the establishment of 30 per month and 365 days a year; in geometry, he first drew a circle in a right triangle He also observed a moment of our shadow and the height and length, then use the pyramid cast a shadow of its height measured.   Benefits the entire, people have a very deep thinker total misunderstanding. Said to have once, an old woman let him to observe astrology, a result, he accidentally fall into the ditch, his cry for help attracted the old woman laughed at this: "How can you expect to know everything about what the sky, Thales, you may even see something in your eyes! "Another time, people laughed at Thales of astronomy can not get rich. To demonstrate how easy it is to become rich in the coming years, according to Sky foresee there will be an olive harvest season, he rented all the oil pressing Square, and I gained a lot of money.   Thales is said to live a lonely life, a lifelong bachelor. His mother had tried to force him to marry, he replied, still too early. When she was urging him again soon, he said, too late. Solon went to Thales of Miletus to visit and asked him why 传奇私服 he did not start their families. In order to understand Solon, Thales ordered a man posing as guests come from Athens, he brought a sad news for Solon, Solon's son that is dead, which makes Solon distraught. At this time Thales on Solon said: "As you such a strong-willed person, and for this Weidun not already, this is the reason I do not start their families; but you do not be sad, this news is false." Ultimately, old and a step of Thales in a sporting event died of heat and parched. The inscription on his grave is: "The great lie in this narrow Thales grave; but his wisdom in the name of the high and the days of Qi."   Thales did not leave any writings. His most famous theory is: Water is the very essence. At that time people used to the nature of the world comes down to God or some supernatural force, Thales is trying to use material "water" as the nature of the world. This proposition has three connotations.   (1) material of water is the world's basic elements;   (2) Things in the world is generally linked, they are integrated in the water;   (3) things from the water eventually have reverted to the water, everything just changes in form of water, water itself is the eternal body.   Why did he reach this conclusion, the interpretation of different people. Some said he might live in the sea side, to see the tremendous power of water; some said, perhaps he sees all things wet stuff is nourishment; also some that he might be the influence of ancient myth, because myths Creation of that couple, parents of Poseidon.   In today's perspective, this proposition is very rough. However, with material things to show the primitive material world, with something to explain liquidity changes in the world, symbolized by the myth out of the traditional religious world view of the constraints, the first time a simple materialist world view of human thinking of a great leap forward.
