Heraclitus
Heraclitus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from Ephesus who lived in the late 6th century BC. He is known for developing a philosophy of change, flux, and fire. Some of his key ideas were that everything is constantly changing and in flux, opposite things are identical, and everything is and is not at the same time. He believed fire was the primordial element and arche from which all things originate and return to in eternal cycles. Heraclitus argued there was an underlying logos or rationale that determined the nature of everything.
Greek and the ancient culture presocratic philosophers
Thales of Miletus is considered the first Presocratic philosopher. He lived in the 6th century BC and proposed that the fundamental substance of the universe was water. Later Presocratic philosophers like Anaximander and Anaximenes developed material monist views but proposed different fundamental substances like air. Heraclitus emphasized the constant state of flux and change in the universe and proposed fire as the fundamental substance. He viewed all objects as being in a state of perpetual becoming through their transformations.

What can we learn from reflecting on the surviving fragments of Heraclitus, the Pre-Socratic Philosopher?
Many of his pithy sayings inspired the later Cynic and Stoic Philosophers, and the Church Fathers, including Clement of Alexandria and Hippolytus of Rome.
These sayings by Heraclitus include:
God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, plenty and hunger.
Life and death are the same; so are waking and sleeping, youth and age.
Man is called a baby by God, even as a child by man.
Asses prefer straw to gold.
All things are in a state of flux.
Man’s character is his fate.”

Ancient atomists
1. Ancient Greek philosophers like Democritus, Leucippus, and Epicurus developed early atomic theory, proposing that all matter is made of indivisible, eternal atoms moving through empty space.
2. Democritus is considered the greatest of the ancient atomists, describing atoms as having different shapes, sizes, and arrangements which determined the nature of materials.
3. Aristotle strongly opposed atomic theory, instead proposing that all matter is made of various combinations of qualities like dryness and wetness. This view came to dominate for many centuries until atomic theory was revived in modern times.
Pre socratic
This document provides information on several pre-Socratic philosophers including Zeno of Elea, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Thales of Miletus, Pythagoras, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. It summarizes their key ideas and contributions to early philosophy and science prior to Socrates. These philosophers were among the first to attempt natural explanations for phenomena rather than relying on mythology. They engaged in metaphysical and scientific speculation about topics like the origin and nature of the physical world.
Pre socratics
Taoists believe that wisdom is realizing our unity with nature and living in harmony with the natural cycle of life and death (the Tao). Though individuals pass away, the Tao is eternal. The Taoist soul is like a drop of water in a stream, being part of the greater flow of the Tao even after death of the individual. Democritus expanded on the atomic theory, believing all things are made up of indivisible atoms and that the cosmos follows discernible natural laws.
History backgorund
The Greeks were the first to propose that matter is made of fundamental particles and developed early atomic theories, though Aristotle rejected atomism. Debate continued over what matter is made of (water, air, fire) until the 5th century BC when Leucippus and Democritus proposed the first atomic theory of tiny indivisible atoms. Though atomic theory was rejected for a time, scientists like Boyle, Newton and Lavoisier conducted experiments supporting atoms through discoveries like gases, gravity, and conservation of mass in chemical reactions.
Early ancient philosophers
The document summarizes 10 early ancient Greek philosophers who asked rational questions about the world rather than attributing its creation to gods. It describes each philosopher chronologically from Thales, who predicted a solar eclipse, to Xenophanes, who ridiculed polytheism and believed in an eternal deity of the world. Key figures discussed include Pythagoras and his famous theorem, Parmenides who argued reality cannot come from nothing, and Empedocles who asserted the four classical elements of earth, air, fire and water.

The pre-Socratic philosophers were the first group to provide non-mythological accounts of nature and reality without the use of instruments. They lived in Miletus, a trading center that exposed them to ideas from other cultures. Thales believed the fundamental substance is water, while Anaximander said it is the infinite and Anaximenes said it is air. They were among the first to make philosophical inquiries and attempt to explain the world through reason rather than mythology.
Eratosthenes
Eratosthenes was the chief librarian of the Great Library of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC. He made several contributions to mathematics, including calculating the circumference of the Earth and inventing the sieve of Eratosthenes for finding prime numbers. He also studied astronomy, created a star catalog and calendar, and worked on geography and chronology. By the end of his life, he had become blind but continued his scholarly work until his death at age 82 in 194 BC.
Turkey famous scientists
Scientists have been studying the impacts of climate change on various aspects of the environment and society. Rising global temperatures are causing sea levels to rise and weather patterns to become more extreme and unpredictable. This is damaging infrastructure and agriculture, as well as disrupting ecosystems. While governments are taking action to reduce emissions, further international cooperation will be needed to address this pressing issue.

Hermes Trismegistus was a legendary Egyptian sage from around 2670 BC who is considered one of the greatest men of all time. He was known as "Thrice Great" and was said to have written many books on theology, philosophy, and medicine that have been lost. The writings and teachings attributed to Hermes, known as Hermetic philosophy, were studied by great Greek philosophers and influenced many ancient mysteries. The core principles of Hermetic philosophy that have endured include the concepts of mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. Studying Hermes' esoteric teachings requires careful analysis to understand their mystical nature and influence on spiritual traditions.

Eratosthenes ppt
Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician, geographer, poet and astronomer. He was the chief librarian of the Library of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC. Some of his major achievements included accurately calculating the circumference of the Earth, creating an early algorithm for identifying prime numbers (the Sieve of Eratosthenes), and being the first person to create a map that included meridians and parallels. He made many contributions across various fields of knowledge and was considered a very learned scholar, though some of his peers nicknamed him "Beta" for not being the very best in any single field. He died at age 82 after being blinded later in life.

It also covers Parmenides' view that change is an illusion and reality is one unchanging whole, and Democritus' atomic theory that all matter is composed of invisible, indivisible atoms.
western Philosophy
- Greek philosophy began with the Pre-Socratic period, including early philosophers like Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes who attempted to explain the universe through singular elements like water or air.
- Additional early philosophers included Heraclitus, who believed in constant change, and the atomists Leucippus and Democritus, who were the first to theorize that matter was made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
- Socrates disagreed with the Sophists' teachings and used questioning to help students discover ethical truths for themselves, influencing both Plato and Aristotle, two of the most important Greek philosophers.
True Colors History and Origin of Personality Temperament Theory
The theory of four personality types originated in ancient Greece with the philosopher Empedocles, who proposed that all things were made up of four elements - earth, air, fire and water. This theory was developed by Hippocrates into the concept of four distinct human temperaments (choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic, sanguine) caused by levels of four bodily fluids. Theophrastus later created detailed character sketches based on these temperaments. His work influenced comedic playwrights like Menander and later Elizabethan dramatists, ensuring the four temperaments became a standard device used in storytelling and comedy.

Ancient Greek philosophy began around 2500 years ago when early Greek thinkers started using reason and observation rather than mythology to understand the world. This included early philosophers like Thales, Anaximenes, and Pythagoras who sought fundamental truths about nature. Socrates furthered this by questioning individuals to expose inconsistencies in their beliefs, which led to his trial and death. His most famous students, Plato and Aristotle, developed comprehensive philosophical systems that addressed the nature of the universe and humanity, and their works became hugely influential on Western civilization.

Plato founded the Academy in Athens and was a student of Socrates. Pythagoras made important contributions to mathematics and believed that numbers governed the universe. Aristotle studied under Plato and rejected his theory of forms, making significant contributions across many fields. Empedocles originated the theory of the four classical elements and proposed the forces of Love and Strife.
Anaximander 2
Anaximander was a Greek philosopher from the 6th century BC who was considered the founder of astronomy. He developed the first cosmological model using mathematical proportions to map the heavens. He believed the universe consisted of an infinite substance called apeiron. Anaximander was a pupil of Thales of Miletus, who is considered the first Greek philosopher and scientist. Thales proposed that all things originated from water.

Heraclitus.pptx
- 1. HERACLITUS “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man”
- 2. Life of Heraclitus Heraclitus (late 6th century BC) was a pre- Socratic Greek philosopher, a native of Ephesus, an important city on the Ionian coast of Asia Minor, not far from Miletus the birthplace of philosophy.
- 3. Contributions He proposed that everything in nature seemed to be in a constant state of flux or change. He assumed fire to be the physis, because in the presence of fire everything transformed into something else. He stated that basic fact about the world was that nothing ever “is” rather everything is “becoming”. Nothing is either hot or cold but is becoming hotter or colder, nothing is fast or slow but becoming faster or slower. He believed that all things existed somewhere between polar opposites,e.g., up-down, heat-cold, Life-Death,Night-day,winter-summer. For him one end of the pole fined the other and the two poles were inserparable.
