	JOHN BURNET'S EARLY GREEK PHILOSOPHY, CHAPTER VI., ANAXAGORAS OF KLAZOMENAI
		Anaxagoras went his own way; Melissos and Leukippos, though they still retained enough of the old views to bear witness to the source of their inspiration, were too strongly influenced by the Eleatic dialectic to remain content with the theories of Anaximenes.
		Anaxagoras is said to have been the teacher of Perikles, and the fact is placed beyond the reach of doubt by the testimony of Plato.
		Anaxagoras was not obliged by his theory to regard the elements of Empedokles as primary, a view to which there were obvious objections, especially in the case of earth.

		ANAXAGORAS [Anaxagoras], c.500-428 BC, Greek philosopher of Clazomenae.

	Anaxagoras (c. 500 B.C. - 428 B.C.)
		Anaxagoras, like Anaximander, understanding creation to be merely arrangement, held that the differences of things cannot be explained except by the existence of different elements.

		We may regard Anaxagoras as having been the first to feel the importance of this truth, and to see that it led to the rejection of Fate and Chance; for these, he taught, are only the names we give to undiscovered Cause.

		Anaxagoras sought to evade this difficulty by insisting that bone is homoiomerous, i.e., made up of parts having the same nature as the whole.
