一米利都学派是最早的希腊哲学学派。这个学派有三位代表人物:泰勒斯、阿那克西曼德和阿那克西米尼。他们的共同任务是从自然界本身寻找一种自身不变而其性状常变的物质本体以说明宇宙万物的的存在与变动。泰勒士认为宇宙万物的始基是水,万物都来源于水,最终又将复归于水。泰勒斯的朋友阿那克西曼德不满足于泰勒斯以水为万物始基的观点,提出宇宙万物的始基是“无限者”(ton apeiron)。
The first Miletus school is the earliest Greek philosophical school. There are three representatives of this school: Thales, Anaximander and Anaximini. Their common task is to find, from nature itself, a material entity that is self-immutable and whose properties are constantly changing to illustrate the existence and change of all things in the universe. Thales believes that the beginning of all things in the universe is water, everything comes from water, and ultimately will return to water. Thales ’friend Anaximander was not content with Thales’ idea of water as the starting point of all things, suggesting that the beginning of the universe was “ton apeiron.”
