Anaximanders world: Magic, Religion, and Science

Abstract

The massive attention paid to science nowadays has already led to a prejudice against religions and magics. This paper is developed based on the unbalanced situation of ancient cultures and traditions against pure science. In this essay, Greek philosopher Anaximanders ideas and worldviews compared to ancient magic and religions will be demonstrated according to the passed down records. In order to fully cover his ideas, the essay is separated into three main parts, Thaless, Anaximanders, and Anaximenes ideas, making sure that every significant influence on him and the correlation among his ideas is incorporated. With the reappearance of Anaximanders claims, we wish to clarify the compact relationships between magic, religions, and early science and the blending elements in Anaximanders world. Moreover, the triple helix of these three crucial humanity topics is able to correct the one-sided mistakes caused by pure rationality and to reform a mentally comprehensive and physically fast developing world.
