About this listen
Welcome to the very first episode of From Alchemy to Atoms! In this episode, you'll learn about the origins of scientific thought rooted in the ideas of the pre-Socratic philosophers. These ancient Greek philosophers rejected supernatural explanations for natural phenomena and developed many of the fundamental principles that are still present in modern mathematics and science. The ideas first proposed by the pre-Socratic philosophers heavily influenced Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and by extension, all of western thought. And if that isn't interesting enough for you, you'll learn that Pythagoras, the triangle dude, was the leader of a mathematics-based vegetarian cult.
Thanks for listening! I would love to hear from you. If you have any questions, comments, corrections, ideas, etc., please email me at thatbiodoc@gmail.com.
