Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (c. 500–428 BCE) was a pre-Socratic philosopher who introduced the concept of Nous (Mind) as the cosmic ordering principle, explaining the universe's formation from an original mixture of infinite, indivisible seeds. He lived in Athens for much of his life, influencing Pericles and Euripides, and was famously prosecuted for impiety for claiming the sun was a red-hot stone.
