The Birth of Logic

624 BCE
Circa 624-546 BCE

In the vibrant intellectual climate of Ancient Greece, the 6th century BCE marks the embryonic stage of formal logic, attributed to the philosopher Thales of Miletus (around 624-546 BCE).

He shifted the explanation of natural phenomena away from mythological interpretations towards rational principles.
