pre Socrates the milesians the Eliatics
The Milesians and Eleatics represent two major currents in pre-Socratic philosophy. The Milesians (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes) sought a single material principle (water, the boundless, air) to explain nature, pioneering natural philosophy. The Eleatics (Parmenides) emphasized the eternal, unchanging nature of being, distinguishing between the "way of truth" and "way of opinion." Empedocles synthesized these ideas with his four-element theory (earth, air, fire, water) and forces of Love/Strife. These early thinkers laid crucial foundations for Western philosophical and scientific traditions.

This mind map focuses on the philosophers of the Pre-Socratic period, particularly the Milesians and Eleatics. The Milesians, represented by Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, explored the origin of the universe, positing that all things derive from a single fundamental substance. The Eleatics, led by Parmenides, introduced the philosophical distinction between being and non-being, emphasizing that being is eternal and unchanging. Additionally, the map elaborates on Anaximander's theories on the origin of the cosmos and biological evolution, as well as Parmenides' division between truth and opinion.
