Thales of Miletus is often referred to as the "first" philosopher, but this is a pretty vague title. After all, what about eastern philosophers or philosophers that we don't even know about? It seems as though Thales is considered the first philosopher because he was the first to break away from mythology and into philosophizing when it came to explaining the natural world.
Thales believed that water was the universal primary substance in the world. Aristotle believed that he came to this conclusion through observation. After all, many things in this world require water to thrive and even exist, so it's not surprising that someone back then would conclude that water is in everything.
Although we may look back and consider Thales' beliefs outdated and silly, he was still revolutionary for breaking from mythology and starting off the philosophy train. #philosophy #philosophers #history
