    Pre-Socratic Philosophers PHI/105 March 2‚ 2012 Jennifer Howard Pre-Socratic Philosophers As I read about the philosopher in this era I found Anaxagoras to be the most compelling Pre-Socratic philosopher that we read about. He was a teacher of metaphysics who lived during the era of (c. 500 – c. 428 B.C.E.)‚ (Moore & Bruder‚ 2008‚ p. 29). I found his distinctions between matter and mind to be intriguing.

    Pre-Socratic Philosophers Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 1. Who Were the Presocratic Philosophers?
