Answer:

In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands. En route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was long and dangerous, and only one ship returned home three years later. Although it was laden with valuable spices from the East, only 18 of the fleet’s original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.

/explain and evaluate the views of anaximander regarding the nature of substance.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Early Greek philosopher Anixamander (ca. 610 – 545 BC) was a monist.  That means he believed that ultimately there is just one sort of substance underlying all the different things we see in the physical universe. He put forth the idea that this single underlying substance of all things is something beyond our experience.  He called it the ἄπειρον (<em>apeiron</em>), which means "the boundless" or "the limitless."  Anaximander was reacting to the views of Thales, a previous thinker from his same town, Miletus, who had suggested that there was one underlying substance to all things, and that <u>water</u> was that essential element.  Anaximander objected to Thales' thought, because water is something we all see and experience readily in the perceived world.  He believed any underlying or base-level substance, from which water and any other physical stuff originated, had to be something beyond the boundaries of our present experience, or "the boundless."

One evaluation of Anaximander's views came from another Milesian philosopher who followed him:  Anaximenes.  Anaximenes saw the theory of Anaximander as dodging the question, "What is the main ingredient of all things in the universe."  By saying, "It's boundless; it's something we don't know," had he really answered anything?  So Anaximenes dismissed the view of Anaximander ... but didn't agree with Thales either.  Anaximenes proposed that air was the underlying element of all physical phenomena.

You'll have to decide for yourself what you think of Anaximander's "boundless" theory.

This New World for Europeans was actually a very old world for the various people they met in North America. Today we call those people American Indians.
