Anaxagoras on Mind

500 BC–428 BC Greece

← All quotes by Anaxagoras

2 quotes

Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone itself by itself.

Thought is something limitless and independent, and has been mixed with no thing but is alone by itself. ... What was mingled with it would have prevented it from having power over anything in the way in which it does. ... For it is the finest of all things and the purest.
