Thales of Miletus (c. 624–546 BCE) is often hailed as the first philosopher in the Western tradition. He sought natural explanations for phenomena, rejecting mythological accounts, and proposed that water is the fundamental substance (archê) of all things. His work spanned astronomy, geometry, and cosmology, and he is credited with predicting a solar eclipse.
