Description
Anaximander: A Re-assessment by Andrew Gregory explores the philosophy and worldview of the sixth-century BCE philosopher from Miletus. This work draws together various threads of Anaximander's thought, including theories of justice, cosmogony, geometry, and meteorology, to create a coherent picture of his ideas. Andrew Gregory argues that Anaximander's statements can be reconciled with each other, suggesting a consistent and rational approach to understanding the world. The book examines how Anaximander's philosophical elements, such as his account of the apeiron, relate to his views on the natural world and early Greek thought. By re-examining Anaximander's theories, Gregory sheds new light on the history of thought and the development of Western philosophy.
