Simplicius mentions that Anaximander said all these "in poetic terms", meaning that he used the old mythical language  ඇනැක්සිමිනිස්c. 585 – c. 525 BCEAnaximenes of Miletus

one time everything was air,  looked for the broader picture in nature, - They sought unifying causes for diversely occurring events, rather than 
treating each one on a case-by-case basis, or attributing them to gods 
or to a personified nature.[5]පෛතගරස්c. 570 – c. 495 BC-  Around 530 BC, he moved to Croton, in Magna Graecia, and there established some kind of school or guild. 

This is the thing for the sake of which nature and the god engendered us. So what is this thing? When Pythagoras was asked, he said, ‘to observe the heavens,’ and he used to claim that he himself was an observer of nature, and it was for the sake of this that he had passed over into life.Excerpt from a speech by the character ‘Aristotle’ in Protrepticus (Hutchinson and Johnson, 2015)

Pythagoras set up an organization which was in some ways a school, in 
some ways a brotherhood (and here it should be noted that sources 
indicate that as well as men there were many women among the adherents 
of Pythagoras),[77] and in some ways a monastery. It was based upon the religious teachings of Pythagoras and was very secretive.[citation needed] The adherents were bound by a vow to Pythagoras and each other, for the purpose of pursuing the religious and ascetic observances, and of studying his religious and philosophical theories.[78] There is mentioning of an oath on the Tetractys.හෙරක්ලීටස්c. 535 – c. 475 BCEHeraclitus of Ephesus       Logos Heraclitus of Ephesus (/ˌhɛrəˈklaɪtəs/;[1] Greek: Ἡράκλειτος ὁ Ἐφέσιος, Hērákleitos ho Ephésios; c. 535 – c. 475 BCE) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, a native of the Greek city Ephesus, Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor.
He was of distinguished parentage. Little is known about his early life
and education, but he regarded himself as self-taught and a pioneer of 
wisdom. From the lonely life he led, and still more from the riddling[2] and allegedly paradoxical[3] nature of his philosophy and his stress upon the needless unconsciousness of humankind,[4] he was called "The Obscure" and the "Weeping Philosopher".
Heraclitus was famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, "No man ever steps in the same river twice"[5] (see panta rhei, below). This position was complemented by his stark commitment to a unity of opposites
in the world, stating that "the path up and down are one and the same".
Through these doctrines Heraclitus characterized all existing entities 
by pairs of contrary properties, whereby no entity may ever occupy a 
single state at a single time. This, along with his cryptic utterance 
that "all entities come to be in accordance with this Logos" (literally, "word", "reason", or "account") has been the subject of numerous interpretations.ඊලියානු දර්ශනයEleatic Schoolසිනෝපැනීස්c. 570 – c. 475 BCXenophanes of Colophon  -Xenophanes wrote about two extremes predominating the world: wet and dry (water and earth).[27]
These two extreme states would alternate between one another and with 
the alteration human life would become extinct then regenerate (or vice 
versa depending on the dominant form).[28]
The idea of alternating states and human life perishing and coming back
suggests he believed in the principle of causation; another 
distinguishing step that Xenophanes takes from Ancient philosophical 
traditions to ones based more on scientific observation.[28]

Xenophanes is credited with being one of the first philosophers to 
distinguish between true belief and knowledge, which he further 
developed into the prospect that you can know something but not really 
know it.[29]
Due to the lack of whole works by Xenophanes, a lot of meaning is lost 
and a large amount of guessing is at hand, so that the implication of 
knowing being something deeper ("a clearer truth") may have special 
implications, or it may mean that you cannot know something just by 
looking at it.[30] It is known that the most and widest variety of evidence was considered by Xenophanes to be the surest way to prove a theory.[28]

His epistemology, which is still influential today, held that there actually exists a truth of reality, but that humans as mortals are unable to know it. Karl Popper read Xenophanes as saying that it is possible to act only on the basis of working hypotheses—we may act as if we knew the truth, as long as we know that this is extremely unlikely.[31] Xenophanes' views then might serve as a basis of Critical rationalism.පාර්මිනෛඩිස්සේනෝPre-Socratic PhilosophyAs the name suggests, the Greek Presocratic philosophers existed before Socrates and were the first to develop philosophy as such. Thales of Miletus
is considered to be the father of Greek philosophy. Presocratic 
philosophies were diverse, but they all looked to reason, observation, 
science, and/or mathematics - instead of mythology - for knowledge of 
the universe. The Presocratics also searched for a unifying principle 
that both ordered nature and also explained how change occurred.පරමාණුකවාදයAtomist Pluralist Schoolලියුකිපස්ඩිමෝක්‍රිටස්එම්පිඩොක්ලීස්ඇනැක්සගෝරස් And they say that when somebody asked Anaxagoras
for what reason anyone might choose to come to be and be alive, he 
replied to the question by saying, ‘To observe the heavens and the stars in it, as well as moon and sun,’ since everything else at any rate is worth nothing. (p. 48)විතණ්ඩවාදයSophistsThe Sophists were one influential brand of Presocratic philosophers. In general, Sophists argued that

(1) there is a fundamental distinction between human custom and nature/reality, 

(2) truth is relative and is based in one's perception of the world, and 

(3) rhetoric (speech) had the power to shape reality. 

Therefore,
the Sophists were skeptical of humanity's ability to access objective 
truth. We could, however, discover how to live properly in our given 
societies. Sophists then charged pupils money to learn the kind of 
rhetoric and virtue that would prepare them to live in society. ප්‍රොටගෝරස්ගෝර්ගියාස්ප්‍රොඩිකස්හිපියාස්ඇන්ටිෆන්තායිමාකස්ක්‍රිටියාස්සොක්‍රටීස්469—399 B.C.E. Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer also sees in the Socratic method an ethical way of being.ප්ලේටෝක්‍රි.පූ.428-7--347-6Plato is one of the world's best known and most widely read and studied 
philosophers. He was the student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle,
and he wrote in the middle of the fourth century B.C.E. in ancient 
Greece. Though influenced primarily by Socrates, to the extent that 
Socrates is usually the main character in many of Plato's writings, he 
was also influenced by Heraclitus, Parmenides, and the Pythagoreans.

Plato conceives of the soul as having (at least) three parts:
 a rational part (the part that loves truth, which should rule over the other parts of the soul through the use of reason),
 a spirited part (which loves honor and victory), and
 an appetitive part (which desires food, drink, and sex),
and justice will be that condition of the soul in which each of these
three parts "does its own work," and does not interfere in the workings
of the other parts (see esp. Republic IV.435b-445b).

He was a student of Plato 
who in turn studied under Socrates. He was more empirically-minded than 
Plato or Socrates and is famous for rejecting Plato's theory of forms.ස්ටොයික්වාදයඑපික්‍යුරියානුවාදය
