Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes

To create a comic story in which Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes explain which is the origin of the living beings.

This 3 philosophers explained that the world was created with one of the things taht they can saw in their environments and what they percieved through the sences.
Thales thought that water was the source of  all things, maybe he said that all kind of life has its origin in the water, probably when he was in Egypt he observed that everything around the river Nile grows or that after the rain worms and frogs appeared, I think he was not far of the reality because now a days we know that the origin of the life was in the water, and after taht the organisms evolved and form new, he needed to explain how was the transformation of the water into everithing he knew.
Anaximander tought that our world is one of the many worlds taht born and die for something he called the indefinite, maybe he thought that the thing taht created other things had to be different to the created thing.
He was correct in the part that what makes a thing is different to the created thing but is the union of many "indefinite" things there is not just one, and there are some matterials that are the base of everyting, he needed to investigate what was that "indefinite" thing.
Anaximenes tought that the base of everything was the air, and when it get condensed formed new things, maybe he watched that the ground and sand were from the ice melted, also thouhgt taht the fire must be diluted air, so he shared with Thales the idea that there is one prime material which form everything, is true that all  needs the air because there we can found oxygen, but also we need someting more to exist and to be in the world with live, is true also that the fire comes from oxygen but just dilutd air do not make fire.
I think that for the knowledge of that epoch their thinkins were excellent.

  1. Great explanation , I can tell that you understood deeply each philosophers perspective. But then answer..
    Are this explanations enough?
    How do they relate with how you conceive reality?
