Footnotes.
1 – Read Knight, _Life and Teaching of Hume_, pp. 102 f.
(Blackwood Series); Falckenberg, _Hist. Modern Phil._,
p. 10; Zeller, _Pre-Socratic Phil._, vol. i, pp. 161 f.

ff., especially the résumé.
3 – Ueberweg, _Hist. of Phil._, vol. i, p. 7.
4 – Monism is the belief that reality is a oneness without
any necessary implication as to the character of that
oneness. Monotheism is a kind of monism, in which some
definite character is ascribed to the oneness, like the
active principle in the world or the cause of the world.
Pantheism, on the other hand, is a kind of monism in
which the emphasis is upon the all-inclusive character of
reality. In pantheism God and nature are two inseparable
aspects of reality.
5 – Bury, _Hist. of Greece_, p. 321, calls the tradition of
the Wise Men a legend.
6 – Bury, _History of Greece_, p. 311.
7 – Burnet, _Early Greek Philosophers_, p. 104, for
injunctions upon the private life of the early
Pythagoreans.
8 – Note further that in future philosophical discussions
of this problem, the technical word “Being” is used for
the Unchanging or the substance that remains forever like
itself, and the technical word “Becoming” is used for the
changing processes of Nature.
9 – “Just as our soul, being air, holds us together, so do
breath and air encompass the whole world.”

Zeller, _Greek Philosophy_, pp. 63 ff.

two independent and coexistent principles.
