22. Leucippus The Conception of Atomism in Greek and Latin Philosophy. leucippus (fifth century BCE.). leucippus (fifth century BCE.) was the founder of Atomism. http://members.tripod.com/l_asproni/Atom/Leucippus.htm

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Atomism Next The Conception of Atomism in Greek and Latin Philosophy Leucippus (fifth century BCE.) L eucippus (fifth century BCE.) was the founder of Atomism. Leucippus' theory originated from Parmenides' denial of the void, from which the impossibility of multiplicity and motion had been deduced. Leucippus supposed himself to have discovered a theory which would avoid this consequence. He admitted that there could be no motion if there was no void, and he inferred that it was wrong to identify the void with the non-existent Leucippus was the first philosopher to affirm , with a full consciousness of what he was doing, the existence of empty space The Pythagorean void had been more or less identified with 'air', but the void of Leucippus was really a vacuum. Besides space there was body, and to this Leucippus ascribed all the characteristics of Parmenides notion of the real. The assumption of empty space, however, made it possible to affirm that there was an infinite number of such reals, invisible because of their smallness, but each possessing all the marks of the Parmenidean One, and in particular each indivisible like it. These moved in the empty space, and their combinations can give rise to the things we perceive with the senses. Pluralism was at least stated in a logical and coherent way. Democritus compared the motions of the atoms of the soul to that of the motes in the sunbeam which dart hither and thither in all directions even when there is no wind, and we may fairly assume that he regarded the original motion of the other atoms in much the same way.

24. STEFAN STENUDD - Leucippus. Cosmos Of The Ancients ----------- leucippus. COSMOS OF THE ANCIENTS The Greek Philosophers on Myth and Cosmology by Stefan Stenudd, Swedish author and Historian of Ideas. leucippus. http://www.stenudd.com/myth/greek/leucippus.htm

About the writer Stefan Stenudd Cosmos of the Ancients The Greek Philosophers on Myth and Cosmology Leucippus egarding Leucippus (flourished c. 430 BC) it is reasonable to do as Aristotle did in his writing, pairing him with his student Democritus. Almost nothing is known about his own life. He is said to have written only one book, The Great World-Order , the title implying that it would suffice. Yet, a remaining quotation is from a text entitled On Mind , which may be a chapter of it or another book of his: "Nothing happens at random; everything happens out of reason and by necessity." Leucippus and Democritus have the essence of their cosmology in common, some basic terminology of it probably invented by the former, though the latter is by far the most famous of the two, and more well-documented. Diogenes Laertius says that Leucippus was the student of Zeno, and that he stated about the world: The sum of things is unlimited, and they all change into one another. The all includes the empty as well as the full. The worlds are formed when atoms fall into the void and are entangled with one another; and from their motion as they increase in bulk arises the substance of the stars. The atom, the particle so small it cannot be divided, was a concept further developed by his student Democritus, but already with Leucippus, if Diogenes is to be trusted, much of this cosmology was formed. This is also how Aristotle treats the two – as of one opinion in cosmological matters. The unlimited all, according to Leucippus, is made up of part full and part empty, and to him those are the real elements – full being the atoms and empty being the space between them. Out of this mixture numerous worlds arise, and eventually dissolve. This happens through a vortex taking place when atoms enter the void, and thereby atoms alike join, arranging themselves according to their "shape, order and position" into a spherical system. Out of this, the earth – being drum-shaped – is formed.

Democritus, Epicurus and Aristotle on atoms Translate: The task is, not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that even in 1900 the only new idea to Leucippus's theory was that each chemical element was identified with a separate atomic species.

Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990 Greek 10 Drachma Coin with Democritus and the atom, before the EURO replaced the Drachma By convention sweet, by convention bitter, by convention hot, by convention cold, by convention colour: but in reality atoms and void Democritus Leucippus and Democritus. Democritus is said to have discovered the atoms, (a-tomos which is a Greek word for not divisible ), around 430 BC. He was a student of Leucippus. Democritus and Leucippus are mentioned together as having discovered the atoms but we know very little about Leucippus. Some say that Leucippus even did not exist and that this name was used by Democritus as a pseudonym. However this is very probably not true. The work The Great World System is considered to be a work of Leucippus in which the atoms and void are postulated. Although Democritus wrote many books almost nothing than a few Fragments survived and what we know are comments from Aristotle and others. How can Democritus and Leucippus discover atoms without being able to see atoms? Even at the times of Ludwig Boltzmann scientists did not believe that atoms exist. Boyle and Boltzmann and others believed this but there was no direct proof.

Leucippus Leucippus, fl. 5th century BC, was a Greek philosopher and the founder of atomism. He maintained that atoms and empty space are the ultimate realities. Atoms are imperceptible, individual particles that differ only in shape and position. The intermingling of these particles in space gives rise to the world of experience. Democritus developed and popularized the ideas of Leucippus. Robert M. Baird Last modified on: Friday, October 17, 1997.

His fame was so completely overshadowed by that of Democritus, who systematized his views on atoms, that Epicurus doubted his very existence, according to Diogenes Laertius x. 7.
