Answer to Question 1

The pre-Socratic thinkers were preeminently concerned with identifying the ultimate substance of the universe, and they wrestled with the apparent contradictions between the eternal and the finite, the immutable and the changing, appearance and reality.
- They were distinctive because they introduced a new way of inquiring into the world and the place of human beings in it. Instead of appealing to gods, supernatural forces, myths or magic to explain the world and the events in it, they sought explanations that were within the natural world and used reason as the methodological tool to make sense of things.
- The earliest group came from Miletus and included Thales (c. 625-547 B.C.E.), Anaximander (610-546 B.C.E), Anaximenes (585-528 B.C.E.)
