Описание к видео Who were Anaxagoras, The Atomists, and The Sophists? | The History of Philosophy Episode 5

In this episode of The History of Philosophy, we wrap up our journey with the Presocratics by exploring the revolutionary ideas of Anaxagoras, Democritus, and the Sophists. From Anaxagoras’ theory of cosmic seeds and the role of "nous," to Democritus’ groundbreaking theory of atomism, these thinkers attempted to answer Parmenides’ profound challenge on the nature of reality. We also delve into the Sophists' role in 5th-century Greece, exploring the enduring debate about morality—whether it is a human construct or embedded in the very fabric of reality.

Enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!
