The Philosophy Of Democritus And The Atomists
The Presocratic philosopher Democritus couldn't help but laugh at the follies of mankind, this propensity would gain him the moniker "the laughing philosopher." Join me in discovering perhaps the most profound philosopher prior to Pericelan Greece. The Atomic theory of matter that was propounded by the Atomists still, to this day, remains the greatest feat of reason of that era.
