大家好， 我在此補充Thales、Anaximander的斷簡，有些老師上課有引用到， 有些讀書會時我會額外用到。我把它po在這邊，大家可以先讀。 讀書會時，你們也可以自行剪貼列印出來，帶到現場去看。 Thales 1. Others say that the earth rests on water. For this is the most ancient account we have received, which they say was given by Thales the Milesian, that it stays in place through floating like a log or some other such thing (for none of these rests by nature on air, but on water)--as though the same argument did not apply to the water supporting the earth as to the earth itself. 2. And some say that it [soul] is intermingled in the universe, for which reason, perhaps, Thales also thought that all things are full of gods. Anaximander 1. Of those who say that it is one, moving, and infinite, Anaximander, son of Praxiades, a Milesian, the successor and pupil of Thales, said that the principle and element of existing things was the apeiron, being the first to introduce this name of the material principle. He says that it is neither water nor any other of the so-called elements, but some other apeiron nature, from which come into being all the heavens and the world of them. And the source of coming-to-be for existing things is that into which destruction, too, happens "according to necessity; for they pay penalty and retribution to each other for their injustice according to the assesment of Time", as he describes it in these rather poetical terms. --
