5988	Anaximander produced the first philosophy book (and maybe the first book) [Anaximander, by Bodnár]
	Full Idea: Anaximander was the first to produce a philosophical book (later conventionally titled 'On Nature'), if not the first to produce a book at all.
	From: report of Anaximander (fragments/reports [c.570 BCE]) by István Bodnár - Anaximander
	A reaction: Wow! Presumably there were Egyptian 'books', but this still sounds like a stupendous claim to fame.

1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 5. Modern Philosophy / b. Modern philosophy beginnings

6405	Moore's 'The Nature of Judgement' (1898) marked the rejection (with Russell) of idealism [Moore,GE, by Grayling]
	Full Idea: The rejection of idealism by Moore and Russell was marked in 1898 by the publication of Moore's article 'The Nature of Judgement'.
	From: report of G.E. Moore (The Nature of Judgement [1899]) by A.C. Grayling - Russell Ch.2
	A reaction: This now looks like a huge landmark in the history of British philosophy.
