Thales  

Definición

  • Thales, born in Miletus, was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, the first natural philosopher who belonged to the Milesian school along with Anaximander and Anaximenes. Unfortunately, we do not have any of his writings; however, his importance in the field of geographic studies is due particularly to his views about the nature of Earth and his search for rational explanations through the observation of natural phenomena and avoidance of mythological beliefs. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Thales]
