Anaximander
Définition
- Among the Presocratic philosophers, Anaximander of Miletus, a student of Thales, had neither an elaborate nor a fully articulated concept of time, but the word chronos (time), which emerges in the one preserved statement of his lost book, signifies a personified cosmic power. In this much-discussed and variously interpreted fragment, time is depicted as a mighty arbiter that, like a magistrate, amends injustice by determining the compensation and the retribution that things at a continuous, cosmic strife are to pay to one another. [Source: Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture; Anaximander]
