From Miletus in Ionia

Key ideas:
- Material monism (substance materialism).
- Apeiron (the indefinite) is the arche. It is the original stuff, the fundamental cause or first principle that explains everything.
- The apeiron generates the opposites hot and cold which in turn generates the rest of the cosmos.
- If Anaximander really was a material monist, then he thought that apeiron persists through change.

- None of his writings remains.

Misc:
- Student of Thales
- Teacher of Anaximenes
