Thales

Pre-Socratic philosopher.

Regarded as the first philosopher in the Western tradition, he sought to explain natural phenomena without resorting to mythology. He proposed that water was the fundamental substance of the universe and pioneered early ideas in geometry and astronomy. His inquiries laid the groundwork for scientific thought and rational philosophy, marking a significant shift in human understanding of the world.
