		IONIAN SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY - LoveToKnow Article on IONIAN SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY
		By this recognition of the necessary correlation of Being and Not-being, Heraclitus is in a very real sense the father of metaphysical and scientific speculation, and in him the lonian school of philosophy reached, its highest point.
		It was therefore left for the later Ionians to frame an eclectic system, a synthesis of Being and Not-being, a correlation of universal mobility and absolute permanence.

		Ionian School of Philosophy The Ionian School includes the earliest Greek philosophers, who lived at Miletus, an Ionian colony in Asia Minor, during the sixth century B.C., and a group of philosophers who lived about one hundred years later and modified the doctrines of their predecessors in several respects.
		Earlier Ionians This group includes Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, with whom the history of philosophy in Greece begins.
		Later Ionians This group includes Heraclitus Empedocles, and Anaxagoras, who lived in the fifth century B.C. These philosophers, like the early Ionians, were deeply interested in the problem of the origin and nature of the universe.

		The importance of the Ionian School for philosophy and the philosophy of science is however without dispute.
		The Eleatic School from the southern Italian city of Elea was led at one time by Zeno who brought to the fore the contradictions between the discrete and the continuous, the decomposable and indecomposable.
		This school had amongst its chief pursuits the use of mathematics to understand the function of the universe.

		According to Diogenes Laertios, Archelaus brought the Ionian philosophy of nature to Athens, or, what is more likely, his master Anaxagoras brought it to Athens.
		Archelaus came from Athens or Miletus and was the son of Apollodorus or, according to others, the son of Midon.

	Leucippus
		Leucippus was born at Miletus (or some said Elea, for his philosophy is associated with the Eleatic philosophers), a contemporary of Zeno, Empedocles and Anaxagoras of the Ionian school of philosophy.
		In fact, it is virtually impossible to identify any views about which Democritus and Leucippus disagreed.

		In general, the Ionian school made the initial radical step from mythological to scientific explanation of natural phenomena; it discovered the important scientific principles of the permanence of substance, the natural evolution of the world, and the reduction of quality to quantity.
		The speculation about the physical world begun by the Ionians was continued in the 5th century bc by Empedocles and Anaxagoras, who developed a philosophy that replaced the Ionian assumption of a single primary substance (monism) with an assumption of a plurality of such substances.
		Continuing the search of the Ionians for a primary substance, he claimed it to be fire, of which both the human soul and the physical world are ultimately composed.

	ELEATIC SCHOOL - LoveToKnow Article on ELEATIC SCHOOL
		The main doctrines of the Eleatics were evolved in opposition, on the one hand, to the physical theories of the early physical philosophers who explained all existence in terms of primary matter (see IONIAN ScHooL), and, on the other hand, to the theory of Heraclitus that all existence may be summed up as perpetual change.
		, a Greek school of philosophy which came into existence towards the end of the 6th century B.C., and ended with Melissus of Samos (fl.
		Subsequently, whether from the fact that such bold speculations were obnoxious to the general sense of propriety in Elea, or from the inferiority of its leaders, the school degenerated into verbal disputes as to the possibility of motion, and similar academic trifling.

		He epitomized the philosophy of the Ionian school by suggesting a nonphysical governing principle and a materialistic basis of existence.
		During this period four major schools of largely materialistic, individualistic philosophy arose: that of the Cynics, and those espousing Epicureanism, Skepticism, and Stoicism.
		The Pythagorean school also laid great stress on the importance of the soul, regarding the body only as the soul's "tomb." According to Parmenides, the leader of the Eleatic school, the appearance of movement and the existence of separate objects in the world are mere illusions; they only seem to exist.

	History of Philosophy 1
		Heraclitus, a Later Ionian, who was in final analysis a dynamist also, marks the transition from the early hylozoism to the mechanism of the Later Ionian school.
		The Ionian school includes the Earlier Ionians, -- Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes,-- and the Later Ionians, whose proper historical place is after the Eleatic school.
		The Greek looked out upon the world through an atmosphere singularly free from the mist of allegory and myth: the contrast between the philosophy of the East and the first attempts of the Ionian physicists is as striking as the difference between an Indian jungle and the sunny, breeze-swept shores of the Mediterranean.

	Greek Philosophy: Pre-Socratic Philosophy
		Pythagoreanism began towards the end of the 6th century in the Greek cities in southern Italy; this school sought an intellectual foundation for a certain religious way of life, and was more abstract and mathematical than the Milesians (and much more heavily influenced by Egyptian thought).
		This is diametrically opposed to Heraclitus's view, and like Heraclitus's thought, the Eleatic school effectively mucked up Greek speculation about the nature of things for quite a few decades.
		Miletus, on the coast of Ionia in Asia Minor, in the 6th century was a prosperous trading center with numerous colonies; its government was aristocratic, and no divinely-backed King or priesthood dominated society and learning.

		First is the Ionian School started by Thales of Miletus which was largely materialistic.
		This School was founded on the theory that "water is the basic substance out of which all matter is created." Next was the Eleatic School whose most famous philosophers are Pythagoras and Parmenides.
		They put much more emphasis on the soul, "regarding the body only as the soul's tomb." The beliefs of Pythagoras and Parmenides characterize the idealism for which Greek Philosophy is known.

	MSN Encarta - Philosophy
		About 530 bc at Croton (now Crotona), in southern Italy, the philosopher Pythagoras founded a school of philosophy that was more religious and mystical than the Ionian school.
		Philosophy is often divided into four main branches: metaphysics, the investigation of ultimate reality; epistemology, the study of the origins, validity, and limits of knowledge; ethics, the study of the nature of morality and judgment; and aesthetics, the study of the nature of beauty in the fine arts.
		The term philosophy is often used popularly to mean a set of basic values and attitudes toward life, nature, and society—thus the phrase “philosophy of life.” Because the lines of distinction between the various areas of knowledge are flexible and subject to change, the definition of the term philosophy remains a subject of controversy.

		In any case, grouping philosophers into schools is really a post factum job, chronologically speaking, so the concept of "school" goes beyond who they were and what they spoke/wrote/thought to include our contemporary interpretation of their philosophies.
		I believe the concept began as a reference to the Ionian philosophers and got transferred to an mythical school by analogy with the Milesian school.

	History of Philosophy 3
		Zeno's contribution to the philosophy of the Eleatic school consists in what must have been considered an irrefutable indirect proof of the twofold principle on which the school was founded, namely, that Being is one and that change is an illusion.
		The chief representatives of the school are Xenophanes the theologian, Parmenides the metaphysician, Zeno the dialectician, and Melissus, who shows a tendency to return to the views of the Earlier Ionian students of nature.
		Our knowledge of the Eleatic philosophy is derived from some fragments of the writings of the Eleatics themselves, from Aristotle's account of them in his Metaphysics, and from the works of Simplicius, who had access to a more complete Eleatic literature than we now possess.

		Moreover, this theory was expressly a concern of the intelligentsia, which at the time of Empedokles was beginning to turn away from the physical science of the Ionians to explore other aspects of philosophy: thus there would have been no urgency about such a tangential aspect of Empedokles' thought.
		We find this precondition in Greece at the time Empedokles provided the culmination of the philosophical speculation which had been carried on by the so-called Ionian School.
		During the Archaic and Protoclassical periods the Ionian philosophers consistently pondered the nature of the elements on the basis of the polarity principle.
