Anthropology Architecture Archaeology Biology ... See live article You are here: Encyclopedia > Thales Thales Thales of Miletus (circa 635 BC 543 BC ) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher He is generally considered the first philosopher in the Greek tradition and is considered the father of science as well. He is numbered among the Seven Sages of Greece. Thales is remembered for arguing that water is the essence of all things. This argument is significant because it is the first attempt to explain the physical world without reference to a supernatural power. Prior to Thales all such explanations relied on gods or other mythological forces. Furthermore, he knew that the earth was a ball, that the moon reflects light from the sun, and, according to Herodotus , he forecasted the solar eclipse in 585 BC Thales lived in the city of Miletus, in Ionia. The Ionians were well-traveled and had many dealings with Egypt and Babylon , and it is possible that Thales had studied in Egypt as a young man. In any event, Thales was almost certainly exposed to Egyptian mythology astronomy , and mathematics , as well as other traditions alien to the Homeric traditions of Greece. It is perhaps because of this that his inquiries into the nature of things took him beyond traditional mythology.

However, none of his writing survives so it is difficult to determine his views or to be certain about his mathematical discoveries. Indeed it is unclear whether he wrote any works at all and if he did they were certainly lost by the time of Aristotle who did not have access to any writings of Thales. On the other hand there are claims that he wrote a book on navigation but these are based on little evidence. In the book on navigation it is suggested that he used the constellation Ursa Minor, which he defined, as an important feature in his navigation techniques. Even if the book is fictitious, it is quite probable that Thales did indeed define the constellation Ursa Minor.

Ancient Greek Scientists and their contributions to the world today The Ancient Greeks were people with big feet. They made enormous strides in the fields of science, mathematics, and medicine. Without them, many of the basic elements of algebra, astronomy, and pediatrics would not even exist. The Ancient Greeks made much possible, and they opened doors that didn't have keys. Throughout the time of ancient Greece, there was one common theme: a quest for learning. This was a time to learn; a time to ask questions and find the answers. It was a time of inspiration and experimentation, a time to think outside the box and to challenge what had been said for years. This thirst for knowledge occurred during a time called the Hellenistic Age. This age lasted from 323 BC through 30 BC. However, this all cannot be credited to just one person, it was a large spectrum of people who made these many exciting new discoveries. They include: Archimedes, Hippocrates, Thales of Miletus, Pythagoras and more! This web site will, hopefully, give you an insight into their contributions to today's world.

Thales of Miletus and the Development of Science in the Greek World Thales is thought to have been born in 625 B.C.E. Historians credit him as the first philosopher to account for phenomenon in natural terms. He was the first to apply the principles of logos to his account of the world. Thales proposed that water supplied the underlying reality for the entire cosmos. His account existed as one of the first of a series of accounts that attempted to satisfy the Greek craving for a more scientific explanation of phenomenon. Earlier, knowledge was based on the principles of mythos and inspiration. However, with the rise of natural philosophy in Greece, individuals could think of reality as unaffected by the seemingly arbitrary will of the gods. As Anthony Alioto points out, in his A History of Western Philosophy Although natural law seems to be an act of legislation by the will of Zeus, the god himself has become a personality, drifting away from the sky he representsas do the other gods. They live upon Mount Olympus in Thessaly, separated from the elements they govern. The implications could be that nature itself, the living and self-changing world the Greeks called...( physis ) is something apart from the gods, like a common stage upon which both humans and gods act out their roles.

80. Thales last Winter, and carried it off at the beginning of Harvest time.” It was soondiscovered that every press in the region had been hired by thales of miletus. http://www.jamboree.freedom-in-education.co.uk/real_history/thales.htm

REAL HISTORY Thales and the Olive Presses In ancient times there dwelt in the Greek city of Miletus a man called Thales. He was not wealthy, but his wisdom had won him the respect of his fellow citizens. People would often gather to hear him speak, and were struck by the truth of his words. There were some, however, who could not see beyond his worn clothes, and humble circumstances. “ Why do you heed him?” they would say, “ he only questions the good of riches and worldly pleasures because he cannot get them. He is like the fox in the fable – he only calls the grapes sour because they hang way out of his reach.” One year the weather was exceptionally favourable and the olive trees were laden with olives. The people of Miletus thronged to the owners of the olive presses, but to their amazement, they all met with the same reply. “You must go to Thales if you want to press your olives; he arranged to hire my press last Winter, and carried it off at the beginning of Harvest time.” It was soon discovered that every press in the region had been hired by Thales of Miletus. Either by chance, or through his knowledge of the stars, he had foreseen that there would be a great olive crop that year, and with the little money he possessed, had given deposits for the use of all the olive presses in Miletus and the neighbouring island of Chios. Everyone, whether they liked it or not, had to hire their press from Thales, and he let them out at whatever rate he chose.
