The simplest theory is that it would have begun the first time someone asked something about life
It explores the principle of
everything

The rule that explains the birth and death of things
The philosophers remembered are:
Thales Anaximander and Anaximenes
ANAXIMENES
He lived in the second half of the VI century B.C.
He wrote the poem “On the Nature”
The Archè is the
Air
Breathing was the main function of the living
The Nature and the quantity of the elements derive from the rarefaction and the condensation of the Air
Ilozoism thinks that matter is all living
