Water I
Fortunately there is a lot of water at Le Ripe.
Le Ripe fishpond with Niji, our only remaining koi, saying hello |
Thales of Miletus c. 624 BC – c. 546 BC |
The
first scientist philosopher, Thales of Miletus, considered water nature's
fundamental substance.
"The much-discussed four substances - of which we say the chief is Water, making it as it were the one Element - by combination and solidification and coagulation of the substances in the universe mingle with one another. In what way, I have already explained
in Book One."
Thales
DK 11B3 (Galen)
