Democritean atomismMakin, Stephen Andrew Roger January 1988 (has links)
The dissertation concerns the basic tenets of Democritean Atomism: the indivisibility of the atoms, their infinite variety of shape and size and their material similarity. The first chapter is a discussion of the methodology adopted throughout the dissertation. In the first part of the thesis (Chapters 2-6) the Democritean Theory is presented as a reaction to Eleatic Monism, and Aristotle's account of the origins of Atomism in <i>de Generatione et Corruptione</i> 1.8 and 1.2 is discussed. The indivisibility of each atom is shown to be grounded in its homogeneity or solidity. Notions of physical indivisibility, theoretical indivisibility and partlessness are argued to be exegetically unhelpful in discussion of Democritean Atomism. The argument whereby the atoms are shown to be indivisible is identified as an <i>Ou Mallon</i> argument, and the same form of argument is seen to generate the infinite variety of atomic shape and size. In the second part (Chapters 7-10) the extent to which the Democritean arguments are defensible is discussed. The <i>Ou Mallon</i> argument form is clarified, and the conditions under which an <i>Ou Mallon</i> argument is defensible are described. Democritus' arguments for the infinite variety of shape and size, and for the infinite number of atoms and worlds, are analysed and discussed. An account is also given of the grounds that could be offered for Democritus' view that all atoms are composed of the same kind of matter, and the philosophical issues raised there are considered.
