>ITT: we simplify Western philosophers' philosophies in common language in a short sentence or two.
Rules:
-Chronological: you must follow those who went before you historically (No jumping to Nietzsche you faggots, wait)
-No shitposting, if you don't know about their views then shut up
-No soft-philosophy novelists (I.e- Dostoevsky, Tolstoy etc.)
-Have to post a picture of your philosopher

Thales of Miletus: everything is made of some varying form of water; the air is simply evaporated water, the liquids are all constituted in some way by water, and the earth is simply water frozen to such a level that it becomes like the ground we are used to seeing.

Water is the stuff of the universe.

This is the state of affairs about nature and harmony. The essence of things is eternal; it is a unique and divine nature, the knowledge of which does not belong to man. Still it would not be possible that any of the things that are, and are known by us, should arrive to our knowledge, if this essence was not the internal foundation of the principles of which the world was founded, that is, of the limiting and unlimited elements. Now since these principles are not mutually similar, neither of similar nature, it would be impossible that the order of the world should have been formed by them, unless the harmony intervened . . .
