Many regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition as well as the father of science. Although it is now accepted that the beginnings of science may in fact be traced to Ancient Egypt. Life Thales lived in the city of Miletus, in Ionia. According to Herodotus, he was of Phoenician descent. The well-traveled Ionians had many dealings with Egypt and Babylon, and Thales may have studied in Egypt as a young man. In any event, Thales almost certainly had exposure to Egyptian mythology, astronomy, and mathematics, as well as to other traditions alien to the Homeric traditions of Greece. Perhaps because of this his inquiries into the nature of things took him beyond traditional mythology. Several anecdotes suggest that Thales was not solely a thinker; he was involved in business and politics. One story recounts that he bought all the olive presses in Miletus after predicting the weather and a good harvest for a particular year. Another version of this same story states that he bought the presses to demonstrate to his fellow Milesians that he could use his intelligence to enrich himself. Herodotus recorded that Thales advised the city-states of Ionia to form a federation.

On this view, Thales made significant contributions to metaphysics ("He asked the question: 'What is real?' no less than Plato and Aristotle did," 249), cosmology (on the earth and earthquakes, 87 ff.), astronomy (notably the eclipse, 126 ff.), mathematics (Proclus attributes Euclidean theorems to Thales, 191 ff.), psychology (on psyche ) and theology (on "full of the gods," 108 ff.). O'Grady's thesis is that we know enough about Thales' thoughts in these areas (each a treacherous minefield of scholarly dispute, as O'Grady admits) that, after a clarified understanding of "Scientificity and Rationality" (her awkward title for Chapter 11), we can confidently conclude that...

From Thales to Euclid PROOF polis ). The concept of proof already existed; it was a socially significant reality. All that remained was to transfer it to the field of mathematics, which was done as soon as the Greeks became acquainted with the achievements of the ancient Eastern civilizations. It must be assumed that a certain part here was also played by the role of the Greeks as young, curious students in relation to the Egyptians and Babylonians, their old teachers who did not always agree with one another. In fact, the Babylonians determined the area of a circle according to the formula 3 r , while the Egyptians used the formula (8/9 2 r . Where was the truth? This was something to think about and debate. The creators of Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics have remained anonymous. The Greeks preserved the names of their wise men. The first, Thales of Miletus, is also the first name included in the history of science. Thales lived in the sixth century B.C. in the city of Miletus on the Asia Minor coast of the Aegean Sea. One date in his life has been firmly established: in 585 B.C. he predicted a solar eclipseunquestionable evidence of Thales's familiarity with the culture of the ancient civilizations, because the experience of tens and hundreds of years is required to establish the periodicity of eclipses. Thales had no Greek predecessors, and could therefore only have taken his knowledge of astronomy from the scientists of the East. Thales, the Greeks assert, gave the world the first mathematical proofs. Among the propositions (theorems) proved by him they mention the following:

At the other side were those who looked for a rational interpretation, like Greeks, who towards 700 b.c., with Thales of Miletus, initiated the Cosmology, which is the rational study of the origin and evolution of Universe. Miletus was a Greek colony in Asia Minor. Before Thales, Homer and Hesiod (who were two poets) had given an impulse to Greek thought, beginning with a mythological thought.

In ancient Egypt, for instance, where the Nile River periodically overflowed its banks, geometry was used to reestablish boundary lines on the plots of land affected by the flooding. This type of empirical (based on experience) geometry, which flourished in ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Babylonia, was refined and systematized by the Greeks.

It discusses how Thales taught that everything in nature is composed of one basic matter; his philosophy was that water was the fundamental building block of all things and that the Earth floats on water. The paper examines how, prior to Thales, mythology had been used to explain the nature of the physical world; the significance of Thales thus lies not in his answer but in his approach. Although it appears that he apparently wrote nothing, he is accredited with the foundation of Greek philosophy and is considered one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. From the Paper: "Thales attributed, as one of the fathers of modern western philosophy, but from all reports was a man who gave up much for his love of thought. Thales would be so deep in thought and stargazing that he would fail to remain conscious of his surroundings and financial position. There are reports of him tumbling into wells while trying to obtain a better understanding of the stars. Thales once utilized his ability to foresee the environmental changes around him to gain high dividends from olive oil press rentals merely to prove that he could be a wealthy man if he so desired."

Home Turkey Hotels Blue Cruise ... Search Welcome to Turizm.net! M I L E T U S Situated at the mouth of the Meander in the south of the province of Ionia in Western Anatolia, the ancient city of Miletus was the oldest and the most powerful of the twelve Ionian cities in Asia Minor. It also founded over ten colonies on the shores of the Marmara and the Black Sea, while its commercial activities extended as far as Egypt. Its schools made a very great contribution to the intellectual and scholarly development of the Mediterranean world and one cannot talk of Miletus without mention of the great contributions to geometry and science made by Thales, one of the greatest scholars produced by the city. Miletus is also renowned as the first city to which the principles of modern town-planning were applied. The gridplan introduced by Hippodamos was later to form the basis of town-planning in all Roman cities. As a result of the silting caused by the alluvium washed down by the Meander the city now lies at a distance of several kilometres from the sea. The fact that Miletus formerly possessed four separate harbours well indicates the important role played by the Meander in the history of the city. The Miletus alphabet was accepted as the normal script employed in writing ancient Greek. The following are a few of the philosophical views put forward by Milesian philosophers:

97. TOTALY ECLIPSE - FT125 So what was it that thales of miletus actually did? This is something of a poser since nothing he ever wrote has survived – indeed, he may never have http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/125_eclipse.shtml

FT 201 Iceland's Elf School Wild women of Texas Ancient man greeted solar eclipses with blind panic and arrows fired to drive off the dragon which was eating the Sun, while today we still regard the event with less than scientific detachment. Here, MIKE JAY The Thales story – spread originally by Aristotle, who referred to the legendary sage as "the founder of natural philosophy" – makes little sense as a claim about the history of eclipse prediction; it’s more a claim about the birth of a mind-set in which ‘science’ begins to take precedence over ‘superstition’. But eclipses are a particularly dodgy example to pick in making this claim. Not only did the original ‘superstitious’ beliefs about eclipses have a fair amount of scientific method, but the subsequent history of eclipses in the post-scientific world demonstrates that even our modern culture interprets eclipses in ways which involve at least as much superstition as science. But, just as this process was underway, an eclipse began. Nikias, the Athenian commander, was transfixed by the ominous quality of this cosmic event; he felt it would be tempting fate to begin any drastic operation until it had passed. However, the Spartans, a far more hardcore military culture, had no such scruples.
