IHipparchus Anaximander UNikos Kazantzakis ArchimedesWayengubani uThales?
UThales, owaziwa njengoThales waseMileto, wayengumfilosofi wamandulo waseGrisi, isazi sezibalo, isazi ngeenkwenkwezi kunye nosomashishini, owazalwa ngenkulungwane yesixhenxe Ngaphambi kweXesha Eliqhelekileyo kwindawo eyaziwa ngokuba yiAsia Minor. Waziwa njengomnye wabaSebenzi abasixhenxe baseGrisi, igalelo lakhe eliphambili lilele ekuzameni ukunika inkcazo yezenzululwazi emva kwento yehlabathi eyayichaziwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ziinkolelo zentsomi. Ngenxa yoku, uAristotle wayembiza ngokuba sisithandi sobulumko sokuqala kwizithethe zamaGrike. Ngelishwa, akukho misebenzi yakhe okanye nawuphi na umthombo wangoku osindileyo. Ulwazi olufumanekayo malunga nesithandi sobulumko sangaphambi kweSocrate sivela ikakhulu kwimibhalo yombhali-mbali wase-Greek u-Diogenes Laërtius, owaphumelela ngenkulungwane yesithathu ye-AD kwaye wacaphula u-Apollodorus wase-Athene, owayehlala malunga ne-140 BCE. Ngenxa yesikhewu sexesha, kunzima kakhulu ukuvavanya imisebenzi yakhe okanye ukunika naziphi na iinkcukacha ngaye. Ewe kunjalo, abaphengululi bale mihla sele beqalisile ukuphosa amathandabuzo kwizenzo ezininzi kunye neentetho ezazibhekiswe kuThales. Konke okuthethiweyo nokwenziweyo, akukho mathandabuzo okuba uThales wayengumntu ohlukeneyo, owayehlonitshwa kakhulu ngexesha lakhe nasemva koko.
Ityala lemifanekiso http://www.zmescience.com/other/science-abc/thales-milet-changed-world/ Ubuntwana kunye neminyaka yokuqala Ngokuka-Apollodorus waseAthene, umphengululi ongumGrike wenkulungwane ye-2 BCE, uThales wazalwa ngo-624 BCE kwisixeko samandulo saseGrisi iMileto, esikunxweme olusentshona yeAnatolia kufutshane nomlomo woMlambo iMaeander. Okwangoku, iwela phantsi kwePhondo lase-Aydın laseTurkey. Nangona lo mhla uqinisekisiwe ngababhali-mbali bangoku, ababeka unyaka wokuzalwa kwakhe phakathi kwiminyaka ye-620s BCE, kukho impikiswano malunga nendawo. Ngelixa uninzi lwabaphengululi lusamkela uluvo luka-Apollodorus abanye bathi wazalelwa eFenike, kamva wafudukela eMileto nabazali bakhe. Umbhali ngobomi bukaThales, uDiogenes Laërtius, ebhala kwinkulungwane yesithathu ye-AD, usazisa ukuba abazali bakaThales, u-Examyes noCleobuline, babezizityebi kwaye babalasele ngamaFenike. Kodwa kukho impikiswano malunga noku. Ngokwabaphengululi abaninzi, igama likayise, u-Examyes, lalicacile ukuba lalinguCarian endaweni yamaSemite. Ukusukela ngelo xesha amaCarians afezekiswa ngokupheleleyo ngabase-Ionia, abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba bayinzala yeMilesian. Nangona kunjalo, akukho mntu uyiphikisayo into yokuba babezizityebi kwaye babalasele. Ukuba u-Thales ubuncinci umntakwabo kuyabonakala kwinto yokuba kwiminyaka yamva nje wamkela umtshana wakhe, uCybisthus. Ngaphandle koko, akukho nto iyaziwayo malunga neminyaka yokwakha yaseThales. Kungenzeka ukuba wajoyina ishishini losapho kwasekuqaleni kobomi bakhe, etyelela i-Egypt kunye ne-Bhabhiloni ethengisa. Ngelo xesha, i-Egypt kunye ne-Bhabheliya bezihambele phambili ngokwengqondo kunamaGrike, bengamachule kwimathematika nakwi-astronomy. UThales kufuneka ukuba wadibana nabafundisi-ntsapho base-Egypt nase-Bhabhiloni kuba simfumana ebuyela e-Egypt eyokufunda i-geometry nabefundisi base-Egypt. Emva kwexesha, waya eBhabheli ukuya kufunda imathematics. Eminye imithombo icinga ukuba, evela kusapho olutyebileyo, wayethunyelwa ngokuzenzekelayo ukuba aye kufunda phesheya. 
Izicatshulwa: UbomiQhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Ubomi bokufunda U-Proclus, isithandi sobulumko samaGrike senkulungwane yesihlanu, usixelela ukuba ekubuyeni kwakhe eYiphutha, uThales wazisa iJometri eGrisi. Ngokusuka kwimibhalo yakhe, singacinga ukuba waqala umsebenzi wakhe wobutitshala kunye nokucinga, emva koko wafumanisa izindululo ezininzi, eyalela abo 'babemlandela' kwabanye abaninzi. Nangona wayecinga, ulwazi lwakhe lwalungekho ncam kwaphela. Ngezo ntsuku, xa iingxaki zazicaciswa ngoncedo lwentsomi, wayesebenzisa indlela yokunciphisa kunye nokuqiqa, esebenzisa ulwazi lwakhe ngeenjongo ezibonakalayo. Yiyo ke loo nto ngokungazi, waba nguvulindlela ekufumaneni indlela entsha yesayensi kwimathematics nakwimimandla emanyeneyo, enje nge-astronomy kunye nobunjineli. Ukulinganisa ukuphakama kwepiramidi ngoncedo lwesithunzi sayo kukholelwa ukuba yenye yeempumelelo zakhe zokuqala. 
Kwishishini Kwisixeko sokurhweba esinjengeMileto, kwakungacingeki ukuba nabani na achithe ixesha elininzi ‘ecinga’. Ngenxa yoku, nangona uThales waduma njengesithandi sobulumko wayegculelwa ngabo bonke. Ngenye imini, xa wayehamba esitratweni ejonge esibhakabhakeni, wawela emhadini. Ukubona oku, isicakakazi saqala ukuhleka, sisithi ukuba asiyazi into elele ezinyaweni zakhe angayilindela njani into esezulwini. Abanye bahlekisa besithi ukuba wayekrelekrele kangaka kwenzeka njani ukuba afumane imali encinci. Ekugqibeleni, wagqiba ekubeni athathe umceli mngeni kwaye wangena kwishishini. Injongo yakhe yayingekokufumana imali, kodwa yayikukubonisa ukuba umntu angaba sisityebi ngokusebenzisa ulwazi. Ngokuqikelela imozulu ngokuchanekileyo, wachaza isivuno somnquma esikhulu kunyaka othile. Ngokwenye inguqulelo, emva koko wathenga yonke indawo yokushicilela yomnquma esixekweni, esenza imali eninzi xa ekugqibeleni isivuno savunwa. UAristotle usinika enye ingxelo yebali elifanayo. Ngokutsho kwakhe, uThales akazange athenge oomatshini bokushicilela, kodwa wazibhukisha zonke kwangaphambili kwaye xa umnquma wavunwa wawaqesha ngenqanaba eliphezulu, ngaloo ndlela esenza ubutyebi bakhe. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Umcebisi ngezopolitiko Kuyindalo ukuba indoda esisilumko njengoThales ingamenywa ngukumkani ukuba ibe ngumcebisi. Kwenzeka ngexesha lemfazwe yeminyaka emihlanu, eyaqhambuka phakathi kukaKing Cyaxares waseMedia kunye no-King Alyattes waseLydia engummelwane. Njengoko imfazwe yaqhubeka kunyaka wesithandathu, uThales waxela kwangaphambili ukusithwa kwelanga ngoMeyi 28, 585 BCE. Ngezo ntsuku ukusithwa kwelanga kwathathwa njengemilingo kwaye njengoko kufutshane nokufiphala okupheleleyo njengoko kwaxelwa kwangaphambili nguThales, kwangoko imfazwe yamiswa. Esi siganeko siye sabaliswa nguXenophanes, imbongi kunye nefilosofi owayehlala kwinkulungwane efanayo noThales. Nangona kunjalo, abaphengululi banamhlanje baphosa amathandabuzo ngesi sehlo, besithi iThales ngekhe iqikelele indawo ekuyo, ixesha okanye indalo ngokuchanekileyo. Nangona kunjalo emva kwesi siganeko, la mazwe mabini aba lihlakani. ULidiya ngoku wajoyina iMedia ekulweni nePersi. Njengokuba umkhosi kaLidiya ubusiya kule mihla i-Iran, uThales uhamba nabo, mhlawumbi kwisimemo sokumkani. Njengokuba befika elunxwemeni loMlambo iKızılırmak, okwabizwa ngokuba yiHalys River, kwafuneka bame. UThales ucebise inkosi ukuba imbe umjelo unyuse umlambo, ethi xa iphambukisa uninzi lwamanzi, yenze ukuba umlambo uweleke ezantsi. Nangona kunjalo, uHerodotus, owayekhankanyile esi siganeko, naye wayekholelwa kuso. Imfazwe phakathi kukaLidiya nePersi yaphela ekoyisweni kukaLydia. Njengokuba uMileto engazange athathe inxaxheba kwimpixano, basindiswa ngamaPersi. Ekubuyeni kwabo ekhaya, uThales wakhuthaza umanyano lwama-Ioni, amazwe ngamanye eba yidemoi okanye izithili. Onke amazwe ngaphandle kweMileto ajoyine ubumbano. 
Igalelo elikhulu Nangona kungekho namnye kwimibhalo yakhe yantlandlolo osindileyo, abanye babaphengululi bakudala bathi uThales ubhale iincwadi ezimbini, 'KwiSolstice' kunye 'Kwi-Equinox'. Ngelixa uninzi luthandabuza malunga noku, uninzi lweentengo zemboleko kuye ngokufunyanwa kweethiyori zejiyometri ezintlanu. Iithiyori ezintlanu ezinikezelwe kuye zezi: isangqa sabonwa ngobubanzi baso; ii-engile kunxantathu ejongene namacala amabini obude obulinganayo ziyalingana; ii-engile ezichaseneyo ezenziwa ngokudibanisa imigca ethe ngqo ziyalingana; i-engile ebhalwe ngaphakathi kwisangqa i-engile elungileyo; unxantathu umiselwa ukuba ngaba isiseko salo kunye neeengile ezimbini kwisiseko zinikiwe. Ngelixa abantu bakudala babebhengeza ingqumbo kaThixo emva kwenyikima, uThales wazama ukuyinika isiseko esinengqiqo. Ngokutsho kwakhe umhlaba wadada phezu kwesibhakabhaka samanzi kunye neenyikima zenzeka xa amanzi esiba nogonyamelo. UThales ukwabhengeze ukuba yonke into esemhlabeni ivela emanzini. Ubomi boBuntu kunye nelifa Kukho ukungqubana malunga nenqanaba lomtshato kaThales. Ngokomnye umthombo, uThales akazange atshate. Xa wayesemncinci, wayedla ngokuthi kwakusekutsha kakhulu ukuba angatshata, kamva eguqula ingxelo yakhe esithi sele kuhlwile. Usapho, wamkela umtshana wakhe uCybisthus. Ngokweminye imithombo, uThales watshata, utata kaCybisthus. Kodwa kubonakala ngathi ayiyonyani. NgokukaPlutarch, xa uSolon, etyelele iThales, embuza ukuba kutheni engatshatanga uThales wamxelela ukuba akafuni kukhathazeka ngokukhulisa abantwana. Ngokwengxelo ka-Apollodorus waseAthene, uThales wahlaselwa sistroke xa wayebukele i-58th Olympiad (548-545 BC) kwaye wasweleka kuyo eneminyaka engama-78. Namhlanje, ukhunjulwa njengomntu wokuqala kwimpucuko yaseNtshona ukuzibandakanya Kwifilosofi yesayensi, ukuzama ukucacisa izinto zehlabathi ngokusebenzisa inzululwazi kunokuba zichaze iinkolelo zentsomi. UThales ukholelwa ukuba waseka isikolo sokucinga saseMilesian. Inqaku Kukholelwa ngokwesiko ukuba iThales icebisa oomatiloshe ukuba bahambise i-Ursa Minor, endaweni ye-Ursa Major. UThales wayekholelwa ukuba iimagnethi zizinto eziphilayo, zinemiphefumlo, ngenxa yoko ezinakho ukutsala intsimbi.
