Western physics began with eminent [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] pre-Socratic philosophers such as [[Thales]], [[Anaximander]], possibly [[Pythagoras]], [[Heraclitus]], [[Anaxagoras]], [[Empedocles]] and [[Philolaus]], many of whom were involved in various schools.  For example, Anaximander and Thales belonged to the Milesian school.  [[Plato]], briefly and [[Aristotle]] at length, in works that survived to today, continued these studies of nature.
