    Extractions: Greek philosopher and originator, together with Democritus , of the theory of atomism which Epicurus later developed. Although no original writings of Leucippus or Democritus survive, fragments of their teachings have been transmitted by later scholars such as Diogenes Laertius of the third century A.D. who, in his Lives of Famous Philosophers , notes: Leucippus holds that the whole is infinite . . . part of it is full and part void . . . Hence arise innumerable worlds, and are resolved again into these elements. See ancient philosophy, related to the possibility of extraterrestrial life

    Extractions: 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.

    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
    
    Extractions: on Myth and Cosmology 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 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.

The word atomism derives from the ancient Greek word atomos which meant "that which cannot be cut into smaller pieces." http://www.bartleby.com/61/19/A0501900.html If atomism is the idea that anything might ultimately consist of an aggregation of small units that cannot be sub-divided further, then "atomism" might be applied to even the aggregations of society or logic.

    Extractions: Leucippus was the originator of atomism (in the 5th century), the philosophical belief that everything is composed entirely of various imperishable, indivisible elements called atoms There are no existing writings which we can attribute entirely to Leucippus, since his writings seem to have been enfolded into the work of his famous student Democritus (see for more on atomism). In fact, it is virtually impossible to identify any views about which Democritus and Leucippus disagreed. In Greek mythology Leucippus , son of Gorgophone and Perieres , was the father of Phoebe and Hilaeira Castor and Polydeuces abducted and married Phoebe and Hilaeira , the daughters of Leucippus. In return, Idas and Lynceus , nephews of Leucippus (or rival suitors), killed Castor. Polydeuces was granted immortality by Zeus, and further persuaded Zeus to share his gift with Castor.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

In fact, it is virtually impossible to identify any views about which Democritus and Leucippus disagreed. Leucippus was born at Miletus (or some said Elea, for his philosophy is associated with the [[Eleatic philosophers), a contemporary of Zeno Empedocles and Anaxagoras of the Ionian school of philosophy. 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. But Aristotle and Theophrastus expressly credit him with the invention of Atomism. In Greek mythology Leucippus , son of Gorgophone and Perieres , was the father of Phoebe and Hilaeira Castor and Polydeuces abducted and married Phoebe and Hilaeira , the daughters of Leucippus.
