The Ionian school produced which scholar who was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus?
Ionian School (philosophy) The Ionian school, a type of Greek philosophy centred in Miletus, Ionia, in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, is something of a misnomer. Although Ionia was a center of Western philosophy, the scholars it produced, including Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, Archelaus, and Diogenes of Apollonia, had such diverse viewpoints that they cannot all be thought of as having belonged to one particular school of philosophy. Aristotle called them "physiologoi", meaning 'those who discoursed on nature', but did not group them together as an "Ionian school". The classification can be traced to the second-century historian of philosophy Sotion. They are sometimes referred to as cosmologists, since they were largely physicalists who tried to explain the nature of matter.
Alexander Polyhistor Lucius Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor (Ancient Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Πολυΐστωρ ; flourished in the first half of the 1st century BC; also called Alexander of Miletus) was a Greek scholar who was enslaved by the Romans during the Mithridatic War and taken to Rome as a tutor. After his release, he continued to live in Italy as a Roman citizen. He was so productive a writer that he earned the surname "polyhistor" (very learned). The majority of his writings are now lost, but the fragments that remain shed valuable light on antiquarian and eastern Mediterranean subjects.
