The first great philosopher of ancient Greece is often considered to be Thales of Miletus, who lived around 624-546 BCE. Thales is known for his belief that water is the fundamental substance of all things and for his contributions to geometry and astronomy. He is credited with being one of the first to seek natural explanations for phenomena rather than relying on mythology. His ideas laid the groundwork for future philosophical inquiry in Western thought.
