ANAXIMANDER Anaximander (610 BCE - 546 BCE) was a Milesian School Pre-Socratic Greek Philosopher. Like most of the Pre-Socratics‚ very little is known of Anaximander’s life.

Pre-Socratic Philosophers Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 1. Who Were the Presocratic Philosophers? Our understanding of the Presocratics is complicated by the incomplete nature of our evidence.

It was the Pre-Socratics who attempted to find universal principles which would explain the natural world from its origins to man’s place in it.
