The Mind of Anaxagoras

Building on the work of philosophers such as Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, Anaxagoras presents the mind as a system of dimensions based on which everything in the world can be defined. The more the dimensions and the finer the granularity of the unit of measure, the wider the space of possibilities. However, the possible must remain aligned with the practical and with the useful. As individuals we have different experiences, but we must build our individual experience on a common system of principles. The result is a social asset, to which we can all contribute and from which we can all benefit.
