TALES
Thales Thales of Miletus who was the father of geometry and philosophy was the first man to whom the name of "wise" was given. Thales was interested in knowledge of the world and the stars. Thales, who tried to differentiate what was science and what was not science, was the first man who dared to think about the world without first thinking of God. Thales put forward principles after reasoning on his observations; therefore he has been deemed as the first philosopher. Thales thought the primary element was water.
