History of Philosophy
Pre-Socratic Philosophy
by Turner, William (S.T.D.)
|
This period comprises: (1) the Ionian School -- the
philosophers of this school confined their attention to the study of
Nature and sought out the material principle of natural phenomena; (2)
the Pythagoreans, who made Number the basis of their philosophical
system; (3) the Eleatics, whose speculations centered in the doctrine
of the oneness and immutability of
Being; (4) the Sophists, who, negatively, showed the
unsatisfactory nature of all Knowledge, while, positively, they
occasioned the inquiry into the conditions and limitations of
knowledge.
