	Anaximenes Fragments and Commentary Arthur Fairbanks Editor and Translator: The First Philosophers of Greece - ...
		ANAXIMENES of Miletos, son of Eurystratos, was the pupil or companion of Anaximandros.
		Anaximenes, himself a Milesian, son of Eurystratos, said that infinite air is the first principle, 5 from which arise the things that have come and are coming into existence, and the things that will be, and gods and divine beings, while other things are produced from these.
		Anaximenes says that air is the first principle of all things, and that it is infinite in quantity but is defined by its qualities; and all things are generated by a certain condensation or rarefaction of it.

	Anaximenes [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Using two contrary processes of rarefaction and condensation, Anaximenes explains how air is part of a series of changes from fire to air to wind to cloud to water to earth to stones.
		Anaximenes is the first thinker we know of who provides a theory of change and bolsters it with observations.
		Anaximenes' notion of successive change of matter by rarefaction and condensation was influential in later theories.

	Anaximenes Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The Greek philosopher Anaximenes (active 546 BC), last of the important philosophers of Miletus, was perhaps the first philosopher to insist on an underlying physical law governing the universe.
		Thus, Anaximenes could explain the creation of all forms of matter through the mechanism of condensation and rarefaction of this substance, air, that is obviously composed of discrete particles.
		Anaximenes also assumed the air to be in a state of perpetual motion.

	Anaximenes
		Anaximenes, a native of Miletus, was a younger contemporary and pupil of Anaximander and possibly of Thales.
		Anaximenes takes exception to Anaximander's teaching about the apeiron, reverting to Thales' position that the first material principle must be one of the basic elements.
		As Anaximenes thought of old, let us leave neither the cold nor the hot as belonging to substance, but as common dispositions of matter that supervene on changes; for he says that matter which is compressed is cold, while that which is fine and 'relaxed' (using this very word) is hot.

	Anaximenes
		Anaximenes was the son of Eurystratus of Miletus.
		"Anaximenes, son of Eurystratus, of Miletus, declared that air is the principle of existing things; for from it all things come-to-be and into it they are again dissolved."{Kirk).
		Anaximenes was concerned with air and how it created everything, while Emerson dealt with nature as a whole, and how it affected humans and everything else.

		Anaximenes was another resident of Miletus, the last of the Milesian philosophers.
		Anaximenes is able to give us an account of how his physis gives rise to the plurality, something that Anaximander, presumably, would have been hard-pressed to do.
		Anaximenes is the first to explicitly include the processes by which his physis is transformed into the plurality of observable objects.

	Anaximenes Lecture
		Anaximenes had a different conception: the basic stuffs and qualities are not opposed, but different stages of a continuum.
		Anaximenes had the idea of analyzing one feature in terms of another, but it is anachronistic to see him as the originator of the belief that science is essentially quantitative.”
		Anaximenes’ choice of air as the “material substratum” seems retrograde — a throwback to Thales.

	Anaximenes Lecture
		The key concept: Y was made from X. In this case, Anaximenes' theory is that everything that exists developed out of the original air.
		Air cannot be both a natural substance whose nature is determined by its density (measured in terms of number of particles per liter) and the basic particles themselves.
		For us, rarity and density depend on how much of something there is in a given volume, but the idea of 'a given volume' is rather sophisticated, and dense and rare themselves can be thought of as qualities just as well as hot and cold can.

	ANAXIMENES
		Anaximenes was born in Miletus and belongs to one of the first three philosophers in the Western world.
		While Thales held that water is the basic substance of all matter, and Anaximander assumed unlimited essential substances Anaximenes maintained that the basic substance in the world is air.
		His suggestion of condensation was highly influential in later scientific thought, but his cosmology (flat earth supported by air) was less advanced than Anaximander's who maintained that the earth floats freely in space.

	TMTh:: ANAXIMENES OF LAMPSACUS
		Anaximenes, in other words, held that "air" was the principle of all living things, and that it was constantly and eternally in motion.
		While in this theory Anaximenes was close to the thinking of Anaximander, he differed from him with regard to the shape of the earth, for Anaximander, like Thales, conceived of the earth - and all the other celestial bodies - as a gigantic disc.
		Anaximenes was the first to realise that the moon took its light from the sun, and thus was able to explain the eclipses of the sun and the moon.

	Anaximenes of Miletus - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANAXIMENES, of Miletus, Greek philosopher in the latter half of the 6th century, was probably a younger contemporary of Anaximander, whose pupil or friend he is said to have been.
		He held that the air, with its variety of contents, its universal presence, its vague associations in popular fancy with the phenomena of life and growth, is the source of all that exists.

		Anaximenes reasoned that air was the source of all life, because people have to breathe air to live.

	Anaximenes
		5) Anaximenes theory includes aer as the source of the gods themselves.
		(In some sense, a return to Thales -- or a synthesis, in that Anaximenes points to a substance which might be understood to be more subtle, less defined than water?)
		As well, the analogy rests on the assumption -- implicit in Anaximenes' notion of justice applying to the world -- that humankind and the outside world are made of the same material andbehave according to similar rules.
