@ TELEGRAM: “THOUGHT IS SOMETHING LIMITLESS AND INDEPENDENT, AND HAS BEEN MIXED WITH NO THING BUT IS ALONE BY ITSELF. ... WHAT WAS MINGLED WITH IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED IT FROM HAVING POWER OVER ANYTHING IN THE WAY IN WHICH IT DOES. ... FOR IT IS THE FINEST OF ALL THINGS AND THE PUREST.“ ANAXAGORAS ANAXAGORAS WAS A PRE-SOCRATIC GREEK PHILOSOPHER. RESPONDING TO THE CLAIMS OF PARMENIDES ON THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF CHANGE, ANAXAGORAS INTRODUCED THE CONCEPT OF NOUS (COSMIC MIND) AS AN ORDERING FORCE. HE ALSO GAVE SEVERAL NOVEL SCIENTIFIC ACCOUNTS OF NATURAL PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE NOTION OF PANSPERMIA, THAT LIFE EXISTS THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE AND COULD BE DISTRIBUTED EVERYWHERE. HE DEDUCED A CORRECT EXPLANATION FOR ECLIPSES AND DESCRIBED THE SUN AS A FIERY MASS LARGER THAN THE PELOPONNESE, AS WELL AS ATTEMPTING TO EXPLAIN RAINBOWS AND METEORS. 00:00 ANAXAGORAS 01:52 PHILOSOPHY #anaxagoras #ancientphilosophy #weste
