Infinite Worlds in the Thought of Anaximander
Original language description
Ancient authors ascribe to Anaximander of Miletus a conception of infinite worlds. That could be interpreted to mean either coexistent or successive worlds, or even just changes within one world. However, various references to temporal cycles found in Anaximander correspond either to a notion of changes occurring within one world or to cycle of generation and destruction of worlds. Since in the archaic period the coming to be of one thing was real destruction of the previous one, if a world undergoes fundamental changes, it perishes and in effect becomes a new world. The individual worlds thus succeed one another.
