Empedocles was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived around 495-435 BCE. He is best known for his work in philosophy and natural science, particularly for introducing the idea that all matter is composed of four fundamental elements: earth, water, air, and fire. He proposed that these elements are in constant motion and interact through two opposing forces he called Love (philia), which brings things together, and Strife (neikos), which separates them.
