Anaximenes is most known for his theory that everything comes from the air. Anaximander believed that all living beings evolve. Pythagoras advocated a highly regimented manner of living and the idea of metempsychosis, or perhaps the spirit's transmutation into a different corpse following mortality. The philosophy of Pythagoras is more in line with how I think. His emphasis on virtue, compassionate behavior towards all alive things, the eternal life and transmutation of the spirit through reincarnation, as well as the notion of "number" as reality within this mathematics not just too helped to clarify the thoughts but also enabled an observable understanding of real life (Miraxrarovna, 2021).
