The Presocratics: Ancient Thinkers, Modern Insights

Step into the world of the earliest Western philosophers. Before Plato and Aristotle, there were the Presocratics — brilliant and radical thinkers who asked the first big questions about existence, change, nature, and the cosmos.

This event will explore the thought and legacy of philosophers such as:

• Anaxagoras – mind (nous) as the cosmic ordering principle
• Parmenides – the paradox of “being” and the impossibility of change
• Empedocles – the four elements and the cosmic forces of Love and Strife
• Heraclitus – the unity of opposites and the river of constant change

Whether you’re a philosophy enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about where Western thought began, you’ll leave with new ways of looking at life, the universe, and everything in between.
