    Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, born around 500 BCE, was a pre-Socratic philosopher whose ideas bridged the gap between the earlier Milesian school and the more developed metaphysical and scientific theories of later Greek philosophy. His life and work significantly influenced subsequent thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. 
Early Life and Education: 
Anaxagoras was born in Clazomenae, a city in Ionia, an area known for its vibrant intellectual culture. His early education exposed him to the philosophies of Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, laying the groundwork for his own philosophical inquiries. He later moved to Athens, where he became a prominent figure in the intellectual circles of the time. 
Philosophical Innovations: 
Anaxagoras is best known for his introduction of the concept of Nous (Mind or Intellect), which he posited as the organizing principle of the cosmos. Unlike his predecessors who sought a single material principle as the origin of all things, Anaxagoras argued that the universe is governed by a rational, intelligent principle, Nous, which imparts order and structure to the chaotic flux of matter.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
The Century moves on decade by decade. War once again scars Europe, in America wagons roll west.  Social unrest continues even as conditions improve markedly for the few and only a little for the many.  The list of problems and of challenges described by our authors is long and their stories once again full of valuable and telling insights.

    Right of the Soil

    The Latin phrase, jus soli (“right of the soil”), is an unconditional right of a person born within the territory of a country to be conferred citizenship. Singapore’s nationality law is based on jus sanguinis (“right of blood”, in which citizenship is determined by that of one or both parents) and a modified form of jus soli (with at least one Singaporean parent). 
 
A two-time Singapore Literature Prize winner, Yong Shu Hoong contemplates how a person is invariably bound to the land on which he first sets foot. These poems address topics like belongingness and birthright by exploring the intermingling of the four fundamental elements of air, water, fire and earth. 
 
Expanded from a 2016 chapbook published a year after the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, this book also attempts to sharpen Yong’s understanding of his relationship with his homeland. A new sequence of poems then plunges readers into Hell, reimagined as Singapore’s third integrated resort that opens underground in the centennial year of 2065, with its concepts inspired by Haw Par Villa’s main attraction, the 10 Courts of Hell. 
 
Beyond our earthly lives, is it soil – or another element or dimension – that will assert its right to claim us? 
 
Shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize for Poetry 2020
