Also known as classical elements, four elements (Philosophy)
group of constituent basic elements of matter (water, earth, fire, air and sometimes aether), used to explain nature patterns since ancient times
AI overview
Classical elements are a group of basic substances—typically water, earth, fire, and air, and sometimes aether—that ancient civilizations used to explain how the natural world works and why patterns occur in nature. Understanding these elements matters because they shaped early scientific thinking and remain culturally significant across many traditions, even though modern science has replaced them with the periodic table of atoms.
