Anaxagoras' Theory of Everything Is Everything

Anaxagoras would have us believe that every single material object, or part of an object, no matter how or large, contains all the ingredients that make up the universe. For parmenides and his followers, motion and change were impossible because for anything to come into being, it would have to come from non being but there is no non being. Anaxagoras ingeniously suggests instead, that absolute change is not required because everything is already everything else.
