Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (500-428 BCE) (13 Jan 500 Jahr v. Chr. – 13 Jan 428 Jahr v. Chr.)
Beschreibung:
AnaxagorasPresocratic philosopher who taught Pericles and Euripides at Athens, leaving fragments of his philosophical work. Despite his rejection of a fundamental distinction between appearance and reality and adoption of an atomistic natural philosophy, Anaxagoras was the first philosopher in the Western tradition to draw a substantial distinction between inert and chaotic matter on the one hand and mind as an active principle and source of order on the other hand. This view had a significant influence on the philosophy of Plato.
