1. THE WONDER
OF THE
UNIVERSE

2. These days, we do not ask
that much questions about the
world, like why leaves are
green, or why the sun rises in
the east and sets in the west,
or what those bright spots in
the sky at night are. We
already know the answer to
these questions.

3. Presocratics
the thinkers who lived before
the time of Socrates, are
tagged as the first official
philosophers. Since they knew
no rational answer about the
existence of the world, they
were the first ones to find
these answers in a natural
way.

4. cosmocentric (universe-
centered)
the ancient period in the
history of Philosophy

5. Thales of Miletus
thought that the basic
element that composes
everything is water. Thales
may have a point in his
theory as even the human
body is mostly composed
of water.

6. Heraclitus.
An opposing
element to water,
fire, was thought
to be the basic
component

7. Leucippus and
Democritus,
were the first thinkers to
conceive of atoms.
Atoms, which are
invisible to the naked
eye, are the basic
components of all.

8. Anaximander
believed in an element
that produces those
elements. He called this
the apeiron, which
means the “boundless”
or “limitless.”
