Matching Philosophers with Core Concepts

This question requires matching early Greek philosophers with the fundamental principle (arche) they proposed for the universe.

Understanding the Philosophers and Concepts

Let's identify the core concept associated with each philosopher mentioned:

  • Thales: Considered the first Western philosopher. He proposed that water is the fundamental substance from which everything originates.
  • Anaximander: A student of Thales. He suggested the apeiron (meaning 'boundless' or 'infinite') as the primary principle, from which all things arise and return.
  • Anaximenes: A student of Anaximander. He believed that air was the fundamental element, capable of transformation through rarefaction and condensation.
  • Heraclitus: Known for his philosophy of change. He emphasized fire as the fundamental element and a symbol of constant flux and transformation in the universe.

Matching the Philosophers to Their Concepts

Based on the understanding above, we can establish the correct matches:

  • (P) Thales corresponds to (iii) water.
  • (Q) Anaximander corresponds to (iv) apeiron.
  • (R) Anaximenes corresponds to (ii) air.
  • (S) Heraclitus corresponds to (i) fire.

Selecting the Correct Option

The required matching is P-iii; Q-iv; R-ii; S-i. This combination is found in Option 2.
