A principle can be some existing factor in nature ( principles of nature and being , or it can be a logical proposition or judgement ( principles of reason )that is a starting point of a valid argumentation. The principles of reason cannot be proven, since in order to prove anything you need to have a starting point, and a starting point is a principle. It is impossible for a proof or demonstration to go on forever ( regressus ad infinitum infinite regress!). Although you cannot prove the validity of a principle, it can be demonstrated indirectly, by showing that if you accept the opposite, the result is an untenable absurdity. This method is called reductio ad absurdum
The History Of Pi (Blatner, 16) At ap proximately the same time, anaxagoras of clazomenae started working on a problem that would not be conclusively solved for over 2000 years. http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers2000/wilson.html
Extractions: Rutgers, Spring 2000 Throughout the history of mathematics, one of the most enduring challenges has been the calculation of the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter, which has come to be known by the Greek letter pi . From ancient Babylonia to the Middle Ages in Europe to the present day of supercomputers, mathematicians have been striving to calculate the mysterious number. They have searched for exact fractions, formulas, and, more recently, patterns in the long string of numbers starting with 3.14159 2653..., which is generally shortened to 3.14. William L. Schaaf once said, "Probably no symbol in mathematics has evoked as much mystery, romanticism, misconception and human interest as the number pi" (Blatner, 1). We will probably never know who first discovered that the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter is constant, nor will we ever know who first tried to calculate this ratio. The people who initiated the hunt for pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians, nearly 4000 years ago. It is not clear how they found their approximation for pi, but one source (Beckman) makes the claim that they simply made a big circle, and then measured the circumference and diameter with a piece of rope. They used this method to find that

Foundations Of Hippocratic Medicine hear words of healing against all sorts of sicknesses, pierced through for a long time by grievous pains. (B112 DK) anaxagoras of clazomenae Another important http://www.indiana.edu/~ancmed/foundations.htm
Extractions: In order to give their new ideas a firmer foundation, and to be persuasive to their patients, many of the writers of the Hippocratic treatises turned to the writings of the Presocratic philosophers, men who sought to explain the nature of the cosmos and the things in it in terms of natural entities and non-personal forces (today we would call these men natural scientists). Other Hippocratic writers vehemently opposed this trend, holding to what they saw as an uncompromising empiricism, based solely on experience, not on theory. Their debate underlies many of the Hippocratic treatises, influencing not only content but also the form of argumentation, which makes it important to consider this philosophical background briefly. In the following discussion, the fragments of the Presocratics are translated from the Greek text found in the standard source, H.Diels and W.Kranz, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, 6th edition, 1954, and identified with their Diels-Kranz number, abbreviated as DK). A useful source book for further background is G.S.Kirk, J.E.Raven and M. Schofield, The Presocratic Philosophers, 1983. According to tradition, Thales, a native of the Ionian east Greek city of Miletus (in modern Turkey), was the first of the Presocratic philosophers. Miletus was a large and cosmopolitan city, with long-standing trading connections with the states of the ancient Near East. He himself was probably of mixed ancestry (his family is said to have been originally Phoenician, and, like many Ionians, he probably also had an admixture of local Carians in his family tree). He is reported to have assisted the Lydian king Croesus in his war against the Persians, and predicted an eclipse that put an end to a great battle in 585. Thus he was probably active not much before the beginning of the seventh century.

Extractions: As I remarked earlier, the Ionians had neither the militaristic inclinations of the Spartans, nor the political energy of the Athenians. Pan-Ionian coalition also proved to be ineffective. After they had succumbed to Athenian imperialism, another danger came from the East. The Lydian, Croesus, invaded Ionia, but he did not institute any significant changes because Lydia was a Hellenized and civilized country. However, after the Persian invasion of 547-6 BC, Ionia gradually lost its creative spirit, even though Persian rule was mild by the standards of the time. The Persians remained in Anatolia for two centuries until the arrival of Alexander the Great in 333-30 BC. Philip II of Macedon, and subsequently Alexander the Great, then conquered a weakened and divided Greece. Macedonia at this time was not a fully Hellenized country, and the Greek language and culture were attributes only of an elite. Athens, Sparta, and Thebes, although sworn enemies, had united against the Macedonians, but too late to save their liberty. Alexander the Great divided them still further when, after taking possession of Greece, he took up the Hellenic cause.

Extractions: [Clazomenae, 500-428 BC] Anaxagoras was born in Clazomenae at the coast of Asia Minor around 500 BC. He spent much of his life in Athens, where he was associated with Pericles, the leading statesman of the age, and with Euripides, the writer of tragedies. At the time of the two Persian wars (490 BC and 480 BC) the greatness of Athens was at its peak after the city was victorious two times and gained great prestige in Greece. A golden age started; the city became rich and prospered under the wise leadership of Pericles, who governed, by the free choice of its citizens, for about thirty years until his fall in 430 BC. "Pericles fell in, it seems with Anaxagoras, who was a scientific man; and satiating himself with the theory of things on high, and having attained to a knowledge of the true nature of intellect and folly, which were just what the discourses of Anaxagoras were mainly about, he drew from that source whatever was of a nature to further him in the art of speech." (Plato about Anaxagoras). With his fall of Pericles' government, Anaxagoras was urged to leave Athens. He fled to Lampsacus in the Troad where he died, an honored guest, in 428 BC. Anaxagoras is said to have written only one book. As a follower of the old Milesian school he tried to revive the thoughts of Anaximenses in the post-Parmenidean period. Anaxagoras agreed with Empedocles that all coming into and going out of being is merely the composition and decomposition of existing substances, but he rejected Empedocles' Love and Strife theory, probably because there was no scientific reason that spoke for it.
Anaxagoras [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. anaxagoras (500428 BCE.). anaxagoras was a Greek philosopher of clazomenae in Asia Minor, born about 500 BCE. http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/anaxagor.htm
Extractions: Like Empedocles, he started from the Parmenidean account of 'what is'. Also like Empedocles, Anaxagoras postulated a plurality of independent elements which he called 'seeds'. They are the ultimate elements of combination and are indivisible, imperishable primordia of infinite number, and differing in shape, color, and taste. Later writers referred to the seeds as omoiomereia (from an expression of Aristotle), meaning particles of like kind with each other and with the whole that is made up of them. They were not, however, the 'four roots', fire, air, earth, and water; on the contrary, these were compounds. Empedocles had supposed that bone, for instance, could be explained as a compound of the elements in a certain proportion, but this did not satisfy Anaxagoras. He pointed out that from bread and water arose hair, veins, 'arteries', flesh, muscles, bones, and the rest, and he asked 'How can hair be made of what is not hair, and flesh of what is not flesh?' (fr. 10). These words read like a direct criticism of Empedocles. Anaxagoras had been an adherent of 'the philosophy of Anaximines', and he kept as close to it as he could in the details of his cosmology. He could not say that everything was 'air' more or less rarefied or condense, for that view had been destroyed by Parmenides. If the world was to be explained at all, an original plurality must be admitted. He therefore substituted for the primary 'air' a state of the world in which 'all things were together, infinite both in quantity and in smallness' (fr. 1). This is explained to mean that the original mass was infinitely divisible, but that, however far division was carried, every part of it would still contain all 'things', and would in that respect be just like the whole. That is the very opposite of the doctrine of 'elements', which seems to be expressly denied by the dictum that 'the things that are in one world are not separated from one another or cut off with a hatchet' (fr. 8). Everything has 'portions' of everything else in it.

At his native town of Clazomenae in Asia Minor , he had, it appears, some amount of property and prospects of political influence, both of which he surrendered, from a fear that they would hinder his search after knowledge. Nothing is known of his teachers; there is no reason for the theory that he studied under Hermotimus of Clazomenae, the ancient miracle-worker. In early manhood (c. 464-462 BC) he went to Athens , which was rapidly becoming the headquarters of Greek culture. There he is said to have remained for thirty years. Pericles learned to love and admire him and the poet Euripides derived from him an enthusiasm for science and humanity. Some authorities assert that even Socrates was among his disciples. His influence was due partly to his astronomical and mathematical eminence, but still more to the ascetic dignity of his nature and his superiority to ordinary weaknessestraits which legend has embalmed. It was he who brought philosophy and the spirit of scientific inquiry from Ionia to Athens . His observations of the celestial bodies led him to form new theories of the universal order, and brought him into collision with the popular faith. He attempted, not without success, to give a scientific account of

Toen iemand hem vroeg wat de reden van het bestaan was, antwoordde hij: "Om de zon, maan en hemel te onderzoeken". In 480 v.C. verhuisde hij naar Athene waar hij filosofie introduceerde. Hij raakte bevriend met Pericles, de heerser van Athene. Pericles' vijanden probeerden hem aan te vallen door zijn vrienden. Ze klaagden Anaxagoras aan voor goddeloosheid, omdat hij had beweerd dat de zon een hete steen en de maan aardeachtig was. Hij werd in de gevangen genomen. In de gevangenis zou hij gewerkt hebben aan de oplossing van een aantal meetkundige problemen. Andere bronnen meldden overigens dat hij verbannen werd, hoe het ook zij uiteindelijk verhuisde hij naar Lampsacus waar hij stierf.

Extractions: ANAXAGORAS (500-428 B.C.) A naxagoras was a Greek philosopher of Clazomenae in Asia Minor , born about 500 B.C. Aristotle describes him to have been older than Empedocles , but to come 'after him in his works'. It is not clear whether this means that he wrote later than Empedocles or that he was inferior to him in his achievements. From a noble family, but wishing to devote himself entirely to science , he gave up his property to his relatives, and removed to Athens , where he lived in intimacy with Pericles . Shortly before the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War he was charged by the political opponents of Pericles with impiety, that is, with denying the gods recognized by the State. Though acquitted through his friend's influence, he felt compelled to emigrate to Lampsacus , where he died soon after, aged seventy-two. He not only had the honor of giving philosophy a home at Athens, where it flourished for a thousand years, but he was the first philosopher who introduced a spiritual principle which gives matter life and form. He laid down his doctrine in a prose work, "On Nature," written in the Ionic dialect, of which only fragments are preserved. Like Empedocles , he started from the Parmenidean account of ' what is '. Also like Empedocles, Anaxagoras postulated a plurality of independent elements which he called '
