Anaximenes (~500 B.C.E.?): Greek philosopher, born in Miletus. He claimed that the first principle (Arche) and basic form of matter was air, which could be transformed into other substances by a process of condensation and rarefaction. This notion of successive change may have influenced Heraclitus, and is explicitly criticized by Parmenides.
