The nature of matter and the idea of indivisible parts has
fascinated philosophers, historians, scientists and physicists from
antiquity to the present day. This collection covers the richness
of its history, starting with how the Ancient Greeks came to assume
the existence of atoms and concluding with contemporary
metaphysical debates about structure, time and reality. Focusing on
important moments in the history of human thought when the debate
about atomism was particularly flourishing and transformative for
the scientific and philosophical spirit of the time, this
collection covers: - The discovery of atomism in ancient philosophy
- Ancient non-Western, Arabic and late Medieval thought - The
Renaissance, when along with the re-discovery of ancient thought,
atomism became once again an important doctrine to be fully debated
- Logical atomism in early analytic philosophy, with Russell and
Wittgenstein - Atomism in Liberalism and Marxism - Atomism and the
philosophy of time - Atomism in contemporary metaphysics - Atomism
and the sciences Featuring 28 chapters by leading and younger
scholars, this valuable collection reveals the development of one
of philosophy's central doctrines across 2,500 years and within a
broad range of philosophical traditions.
