Thales


When you ask a person, "Who is your favorite philosopher?" they are most likely going to answer, Plato, Socrates or Aristotle. But what about Thales? He was the first man to be called "wise" and was also thought to be the creator of philosophy. In 585, Thales correctly predicted the solar eclipse. Another thing Thales is known for is being the originator of the quote, "Know Thyself". Thale's theory was that everything was water before it became that thing. What do you think? Do you like Thales?
