| Despite Diogenes Apollonia's popularity in the fifth century, he has been largely overlooked by histories of philosophy and is often dismissed as an eclectic thinker. The author discusses Diogenes' contributions to the history of philosophy, particularly his relationship between his noetics and teleology, and his role in promoting the doctrine of "material monism". The author also examines the reception of Diogenes' thought and the origin of his reputation as an eclectic. Finally, the author compares Theophrastus' criticism of Diogenes to Plato's criticism of Anaxagoras in the Phaedo, suggesting that Anaxagoras and Diogenes may have been more similar in their thinking than previously thought.

| The Oxford Handbook of Presocratic Philosophy brings together leading international scholars to study the diverse figures, movements, and approaches that constitute Presocratic philosophy. In the sixth and fifth centuries bc a new kind of thinker appeared in Greek city-states, dedicated to finding the origins of the world and everything in it, using observation and reason rather than tradition and myth. We call these thinkers Presocratic philosophers, and recognize them as the first philosophers of the Western tradition, as well as the originators of scientific thinking. New textual discoveries and new approaches make a reconsideration of the Presocratics at the beginning of the twenty-first century especially timely. More than a survey of scholarship, this study presents new interpretations and evaluations of the Presocratics' accomplishments, from Thales to the sophists, from theology to science, and from pre-philosophical background to their influence on later thinkers. Many positions presented here challenge accepted wisdom and offer alternative accounts of Presocratic theories. This book includes chapters on the Milesians (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes), Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, the Pythagoreans, the atomists, and the sophists. Special studies are devoted to the sources of Presocratic philosophy, oriental influences, Hippocratic medicine, cosmology, explanation, epistemology, theology, and the reception of Presocratic thought in Aristotle and other ancient authors.
