According to Hippolytus of Rome in the third century CE, Anaximander claimed that living creatures were first formed in the " wet " when acted on by the Sun, and that they were different then than they are now.

Anaximander also claimed that spontaneous generation continued to this day, with aquatic forms being produced directly from lifeless matter.

Anaximander claimed that none of the elements ( earth, fire, air, water ) could be arche for the same reason.

535-475 BCE ) disagreed with Thales, Anaximander, and Pythagoras about the nature of the ultimate substance and claimed instead that everything is derived from the Greek classical element fire, rather than from air, water, or earth.

The ancient Greeks and Romans created maps, beginning at latest with Anaximander in the 6th century BC.

Next came Anaximander ( 610-546 BCE ), the first writer on philosophy.

Anaximander ( 6th century BC ) was the first philosopher who used the term arche for that which writers from Aristotle on call the " substratum " ( Hippolitus I, 6, I DK B2 ).

In Greek antiquity the ideas of celestial spheres and rings first appeared in the cosmology of Anaximander in the early 6th century BC.

Two mud volcano fields were first explored, one along the Mediterranean Ridge, where most of them were partially ( Napoli, Milano mud volcanoes ) or totally ( Urania, Maidstone mud volcanoes ) affected by brines, and the other on the Anaximander mounds south of Turkey.

During these first exploratory dives, symbiont-bearing taxa that are similar to those observed on the Olimpi and Anaximander mud fields were sampled and identified.

The principle is usually attributed to Gottfried Leibniz, although the first person to use it was Anaximander of Miletus.

His successor Anaximander is the first person known to have attempted to create a scale map of the known world and to have introduced the gnomon to Ancient Greece.

Anaximander was the first philosopher that used arche for that which writers from Aristotle ownwards called ' the substratum " ( Simplicius Phys.

Anaximander ( 610-546 BC ) held that the apeiron was the principle or main element composing all things.

Anaximander ( c. 550 BC ) believed the Earth to be a short cylinder with a flat, circular top that remained stable because it is the same distance from all things.

In earliest Greek philosophy, the cosmogony of Anaximander is based on these mythical beliefs.

* Anaximander ( 610 – 546 BC ) is credited with introducing this Babylonian instrument to the Greeks.

This is the same description used by the early Greek philosopher Anaximander for the sun before any spherical ideas emerged.

Thales inspired the Milesian school of philosophy and was followed by Anaximander, who argued that the substratum or arche could not be water or any of the classical elements but was instead something " unlimited " or " indefinite ," the apeiron ; his reasoning was that because the world seems to consist of opposites ( e. g., hot and cold ) yet a thing can become its opposite ( e. g., a hot thing cold ), they cannot truly be opposites but rather must both be manifestations of some underlying substratrum that is neither, while all of the classical elements are one extreme or another ( e. g., water is wet and so the opposite of dry ).

Pythagoras is said to have been a disciple of Anaximander and to have imbibed the cosmological concerns of the Ionians, including the idea that the cosmos is constructed of spheres, the importance of the infinite, and that air or aether is the arche of everything.

The Pythagorean account actually begins with Anaximander's teaching that the ultimate substance of things is " the boundless ," or what Anaximander called the " apeiron.

Anaximander is a lunar crater that is located near the northwest limb of the Moon.

The outer wall of Anaximander is heavily worn and eroded, with multiple notches and breaks.

This crater has merged with the larger Anaximander D to the south, and there is a wide break in their common rims where they have joined.

To the northwest a low rise in the surface is all that separated Anaximander from the much larger satellite crater Anaximander B.

The crater is named for the 6th century BCE Greek philosopher and astronomer Anaximander.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Anaximander.

Anaximander is presented in the book as a main initiator of scientific thinking.

" His most noted students were Anaximenes of Miletus (" all is air ") and Anaximander ( all is apeiron ).

The outer rampart to the south is adjoined to the old crater Anaximander, and the satellite formation Anaximander B lies along the western rim.

Instead, he proposed the existence of the apeiron, an indefinite substance from which all things are born and to which all things will return .< ref > Simplicius, Comments on Aristotle's Physics ( 24, 13 ).< DK 12 A9, B1 ></ ref > Apeiron ( endless or boundless ) is something completely indefinite and Anaximander was probably influenced by the original chaos of Hesiod ( yawning abyss ).

The Greek philosopher Anaximander described the world as " endless " ( apeiron ), Xenophanes — as " the greatest " ( megistos ).

* Anaximander: Apeiron ( meaning ' the undefined infinite ').

Thales ' student, Anaximander, proposed that everything came from the limitless apeiron.

Prior to 546 BC, the Milesian philosopher Anaximander proposed that mankind had sprung from an aquatic species of animal.

And unlike Anaximander, he relegated the fixed stars to the region most distant from the Earth.

Anaximander ( 610-546 BC ) then suggested that things could not come from a specific substance like water, but rather from something he called the " boundless.

In a wide-ranging survey from Anaximander to Aids, Dollimore presses his case that the drive to relinquish the self has always lurked within Western notions of identity and can be found above all, ‘ perversely, lethally, ecstatically ’ in sexuality.

While his predecessors Thales and Anaximander proposed that the arche, the underlying material of the world, were water and the ambiguous substance apeiron, respectively, Anaximenes asserted that air was this primary substance of which all other things are made.

As part of his overall attempt to give natural explanations of things that had previously been ascribed to the agency of the gods, Anaximander believed that everything arose out of the elemental nature of the universe, which he called the " apeiron " or " unbounded ".

Anaximenes, a pupil of Anaximander, thought that air was the element that imparted life, motion and thought, and speculated that there was a primordial terrestrial slime, a mixture of earth and water, which when combined with the sun's heat formed plants, animals and human beings directly.

Hecataeus described the countries and inhabitants of the known world, the account of Egypt being particularly comprehensive ; the descriptive matter was accompanied by a map, based upon Anaximander ’ s map of the earth, which he corrected and enlarged.
