Clarissa asked:

What is the first philosophical question of Thales, Anaximenes, Anaximander, Pythagoras and
Democritus? This is my assignment in my philosophy class.

============

'Is there a basic stuff from which everything in the world is made?' Mind you, they all proposed
different answers, but you won't expect me to write your essay for you, so I cannot spare you the
effort of researching this further. But since all these thinkers are known as 'Presocratics', you should
have no trouble locating source material
