A Greek philosopher circa 500-428 BCE.
Anaxagoras was originally from Klazomenae (Clazomenae) in Ionia but, at age 40, he went to Athens and became well known to Perikles (Pericles).
Anaxagoras is credited with the concept of Dualism in which Mind and Matter are two different realms of reality; he is also credited with being the first man to explain the nature of solar eclipses.
Anaxagoras was called Nous (Mind) because of his remarkable intellect; he taught that Necessity was the dominating force of the universe and that Chance was an antiquated, superstitious belief that had no logical basis or intellectual foundation.
