	Milesians (Greek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Milesians of Hellenic (Greek) civilization were the inhabitants of Miletus, a city in the Anatolia province of modern-day Turkey, near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and at the mouth of the Meander River.
		Settlers from Crete moved to Miletus sometime in 16th century BC.
		By the 6th century BC, Miletus had become a maritime empire, and the Milesians spread out across Turkey and even as far as the Crimea, founding new colonies.

	Thales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The archai that Aristotle had in mind in his well-known passage on the first Greek scientists are not necessarily chronologically prior to their objects, but are constituents of it.
		The idea did not originate with him, as the Greeks in general believed in the distinction between mind and matter, which was ultimately to lead to a distinction not only between body and soul but also between matter and energy.
		Our sources on the Milesian philosophers (Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes) were either roughly contemporaneous (such as Herodotus) or lived within a few hundred years of his passing.

	The Milesians
		Miletus was an Ionian city; Ionia was a Greek colony on the Aegean coast of western Asia Minor.
		The Milesians assume that the material principle of all things is that which underlies all change, and, as such, is itself necessarily unchanging.
		This conclusion, however, puts the Milesian philosophers at variance with the testimony of their senses, which dictate that Being (what is) is many and constantly changing; in other words, this puts them in contradiction with the world of common sense.

		Greek colonization is, however, merely a continuation of the process which at an earlier epoch had led to the settlement, first of Cyprus, and then of the islands and coasts of the Aegean.
		Greek trade owed its expansion to the intelligent efforts of the oligarchs who ruled at Miletus and Corinth, in Samos, Aegina and Euboea; but in particular cases, such as Miletus, Corinth, Sicyon and ~thens, there was a further development, and a still more rapid growth, under the tyrants.
		The changes by which the character of the Greek democracies was revolutionized were four in number: the substitution of sortition for election, the abolition of a property qualification, the payment of officials and the rise of a class of professional politicians.

		The Milesians were called "hylozoists," or "those who think matter is alive," by the later Greeks, because they saw no distinction between animate and inanimate, spirit and matter.
		Although Greek philosophers had extremely ingenious ideas about nature which often come very close to modern scientific models, the enormous difference between the two is the empirical attitude of modern science which was by and large foreign to the Greek mind.
		On the other hand, of course, the Greek art of deductive reasoning and logic is an essential ingredient in the second stage of scientific research, the formulation of a consistent mathematical model, and thus an essential part of science.

	Milesian questions
		Greeks had settled in this area, known as Ionian beginning around 1000 BC; they would continue to live there in large numbers until the early 1922, when they were driven out by the Turks (and Turks driven out of Greece) in an operation similar to the 'ethnic cleansing' which took place in the former Yugoslavia.
		Homer and Hesiod both wrote in a poetic dialect based mainly on the sort of Greek spoken in Ionia, though Hesiod lived on the mainland of Greece (his city of Askra is near Mt. Helicon, which is labelled on our map).
		The Ionians benefitted from more fertile countryside than that in most of mainland Greece, and also from close connections with their neighbors to the East, who were the beneficiaries of an ancient civilization which had begun in Mesopotamia (and Egypt) some thousands of years before.

		Whether the Greeks travelled to Egypt or whether the Egyptians colonized or visited Greece at some point (which is what the ancient Greeks thought) is a difficult question to answer.
		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).

	The Coming of the Milesians
		The Milesians landed first at Kerry and proceeded to Tara where they met the Kings of the Tuatha Dé Danaan who claimed control of Ireland at the time.

		Peace fell upon the land then, and the happiness of the Milesians was only broken when, after a year, Eber's wife discovered that she must be possessed of the three most pleasant hills in Éirinn, or else she could not remain another night on the Island.

	Thales of Miletus
		Thales of Miletus was the first known Greek philosopher, scientist and mathematician.
		The achievement of Thales, has been represented by historians in two entirely different lights: on the one hand, as a marvelous anticipation of modern scientific thinking, and on the other as nothing but a transparent rationalization of a myth.
		But, more preciesly, Thales and the Milesians proceeded from the assumption of a fundamental unity of all material things that is to be found behind their apparent diversity.

	Early Greek Science
		The Milesians' view is that nature is a dynamic entity evolving in accordance with some admittedly not fully understood laws, but not being micromanaged by a bunch of gods using it to vent their anger or whatever on hapless humanity.
		He and his followers adopted the Milesian point of view, applied to disease, that it was not caused by the gods, even epilepsy, which was called the sacred disease, but there was some rational explanation, such as infection, which could perhaps be treated.
		In the fourth century B.C., Greek intellectual life centered increasingly in Athens, where first Plato and then Aristotle established schools, the Academy and the Lyceum respectively, which were really the first universities, and attracted philosophers and scientists from all over Greece.

	Introducing Ancient Greek Philosophy (IAGP)
		The Milesians had come into conflict more than once with the Lydians, whose rulers were bent on extending their dominion to the coast; but, towards the end of the seventh century B.C., the tyrant Thrasybulus succeeded in making terms with King Alyattes, and an alliance was concluded which secured Miletus against molestation for the future.
		The founder of the Milesian school, and therefore the first man of science, was Thales; but all we can really be said to know of him comes from Herodotus, and the Tale of the Seven Wise Men was already in existence when he wrote.
		It is this political action which has gained the founder of the Milesian school his undisputed place among the Seven Wise Men; and it is owing to his inclusion among those worthies that the numerous anecdotes told of him in later days attached themselves to his name.

		The fact is that the Milesians might well even be said to have invented ‘nature’ itself, in the sense that their efforts helped to shape the very concept of a naturalistic, rational world.
		The Milesians, we have seen, focused their attention mainly on identifying the basic ‘stuff’ of the world; and the Pythagoreans turned away from that material ‘stuff’ to look instead at the mathematical structure and form of the world.
		With Greek medicine we are in the unusual position of having direct and rather extensive evidence, instead of the second-hand fragments and quotations in which most of the other thinkers are preserved.
