Anaximander and the Apeiron

Anaximander (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίμανδρος, Anaximandros) (c. 610 BC–c. 546 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus, a city of Ionia; Milet in modern Turkey. He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales. He succeeded Thales and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and Pythagoras amongst his pupils.

From his phylosophy the Apeiron are generated in the first place "as otherwise" (hot/cold, wet/dry, etc.), ie the elements, since the nature of each element corresponds to a given quality (so the fire is hot, the water cold, etc.). In this sense, then, apeiron missing, as well as limitations, including quality from this substrate Aqualit born the four constituent elements of reality. It is no coincidence that the universe, everything is equipped with precise boundaries: the reality Unlimited (Apeiron) created all things and each of them becomes the limit with the rise of the rest.
