第一个把哲学引入雅典的哲学家。他主张物质世界是由无穷多的“种子”（各不相同的本质微粒）组成的，并在一种叫“ Nous ”（心灵、智慧）的外在推动力量下产生宇宙的秩序与运动。
A close advisor to Pericles and the first philosopher to bring naturalistic inquiry to Athens. For suggesting that the sun was not a god but a glowing mass of metal larger than the Peloponnese, he was prosecuted for impiety and exiled.
Anaxagoras proposed the theory of "seeds" (homoeomeries), holding that reality is composed of infinitely many qualitative micro-substances rather than four dead elements. "In everything there is a portion of everything"—bread contains invisible particles of hair, bone, and blood, which is how it nourishes the body. Ordering this chaotic sea of particles is Nous (Mind): an independent, pure, and all-seeing causal force that initiates the cosmic vortex. This marks a milestone in Western thought's introduction of an external efficient and final cause.
"All things were confounded together, until immortal Mind descended and set the cosmos in vortex motion, bringing forth the order of the stars."
‘物我一体，万物中有万物’。如果你承认，组成你今天眼角泪水和手腕骨骼的所有原子微粒，在千亿年前曾经高悬在某颗超新星最炽热核心被淬炼过，你的生命本身就是一部凝聚了跨百亿光年星尘演变的重度交响曲。这带给你对自身生命归宿有什么独特的星空冥想感？
Democritus held that atoms collide mechanically in void without any guiding intelligence. Anaxagoras insisted that material particles require an external, ordering intelligence (Nous) to initiate cosmic order, granting the cosmos inherent rational purpose.
In explaining nature's fine-tuned order, should we trust blind molecular collision and probability, or posit a governing intelligence (Nous)?
