Extrait du document
Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes were a trio of hardy and ingenious specu¬lators. Their interests mark them out as the forebears of modern scientists rather more than of modern philosophers. The matter is different when we come to Xenophanes of Colophon (near present-day Izmir), who lived into the fifth cen¬tury. His themes and methods are recognizably the same as those of philosophers through succeeding ages. In particular he was the first philosopher of religion, and some of the arguments he propounded are still taken seriously by his successors.
