O knihe
Atomism is a natural philosophy developed by Leucippus and his student Democritus in the fifth century BC. These atomists theorized that the natural world consists of two fundamental and opposite, indivisible bodies - atoms and void (void is mere nothing, or the body's negation). Atoms are intrinsically unchangeable and move about the void combining into different clusters (and these clusters form deferring substances). Atoms are reality's very small, indestructible building blocks (Aristotle, Metaphysics, I, 4, 985 b, 10-15). The word atomism derives from the ancient Greek adjective atomos, which literally meant 'uncuttable' (a - tomos (not cuttable) - tomos a conjugate of the Greek verb temnein (to cut)). Of importance to the philosophical concept of atomism is the historical accident that the particles that chemists and physicists of the early 19th century thought were indivisible, and therefore identified with the uncuttable a-toms of long tradition, were found in the 20th century to be composed of even smaller entities: electrons, neutrons, and protons.
