Extractions: Athenian statesman, from the famous family of Alcmaeonids. Late in the tyranny of Hippias Cleisthenes was banished from Athens. He was said to have bribed the priestess at Delphi into guaranteeing that the oracle would advise all Spartans to overthrow the tyranny in Athens. (See Pisistratus .) Delphi, in return, got Cleisthenes' promise to help bankroll the renovation of the temple. The priestess took the bribe, the Spartans took the advice, Hippias was overthrown and Cleisthenes returned to Athens (511/10 B.C.E. to head one of two aristocratic factions. When the rival faction, headed by Isagoras, got the upperhand, the ever resourceful Cleisthenes appealed to the people and succeeded in passing a sweeping set of democratic reforms that included redefinition of the tribes of Athens (a sort of ancient gerrymandering), granting of sweeping powers to the Council of 500 ( BOULE ,) empowering of the Assembly of all citizens ( EKKLESIA ,) and instituting ostracism , the curious Athenian law by which the citizens could vote to excile for ten years, with or without cause, one of their fellow citizens.

Extractions: IV. Conclusion Introduction Leucippus, born ca. 500 BCE, and his pupil, Democritus, born ca. 460 BCE, are credited with postulating the theory of Atoms and Void. Democritus expanded upon Leucippus' original theory and theorized on many of its detailed applications like perception. Leucippus is credited with writing only a few works, including The Great World System , in which he postulates his theory on atoms and void. Democritus was a much more prolific writer and is credited with writing fifty-two works, although some were quite short. These included his expansion on Leucippus' work in The Little World System , and eight works on ethics. Unfortunately, while his work on ethics comprised only a small portion of his work, nearly all the existing fragments from his work are from the ethical works. Atomists vs. Eleatics Leucippus' theory was a reaction to the theories of Parmenides and Zeno; it was an attempt at a reconciliation of elliptic principles and our senses.

Stamp issued by Greece on Sept. 26, 1983, to honor an International Conference on Democritus and his work Democritus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher (born at Abdera in Thrace around 460 BC ; lived to be very old, but died at an unknown date). Democritus was a student of Leucippus , and co-originator of the belief that all matter is made up of various imperishable indivisible elements which he called atoms. It is virtually impossible to tell which of these ideas were unique to Democritus, and which are attributable to Leucippus. Democritus is also the first philosopher we know who realized that what we perceive as the Milky Way is the light of distant stars. Other philosophers, including later

Atomistic theory is prominent in some of the Hindu teachings in India. Around 440 BC, Leucippus of Miletus originated the atom concept. He and his pupil, Democritus (c460-371 BC) of Abdera, refined and extended it in future years. There are five major points to their atomic idea. Almost all of the original writings of Leucippus and Democritus are lost. About the only sources we have for their atomistic ideas are found in quotations of other writers. Democritus [16K GIF] is known as the "Laughing Philosopher" because of his joyous spirit. He was a big man (relatively speaking) and enjoyed life tremendously. He also was very widely traveled.

Extractions: Democritus (ca. 460-ca. 370 B.C.) Introduction Democritus of Abdera, on the coast of Thrace, was probably born in 460 B.C. He wrote over sixty works, of which several hundred fragments survive. Together with Leucippus, a virtually unknown figure who was supposedly his teacher, Democritus was the prime exponent of the philosophy known as atomism. While Leucippus s work has perished, we have many reports about the Democritean form of atomistic philosophy. Atomism accepted Parmenides idea that being must be one seamless whole but posited an infinite number of such "one s." According to Democritus, the world is made up of tiny "un-cutables" that move within the "void" (corresponding to Parmenides non-being). These atoms combine in different patterns to form the material objects of the observable world. Democritus applied this understanding of reality to human beings as well. Both the soul and the body are made up of atoms. Perception occurs when atoms from objects outside the person strike the sense organs inside the person, which in turn strike the atoms of the soul further inside. Death, in turn, is simply the dissipation of the soul atoms when the body atoms no longer hold them together. Such an understanding of the person seems to eliminate all possibility of freedom of choice and, indeed, the only known saying of Leucippus is "Nothing happens at random; everything happens out of reason and by necessity." Such a position would seem to eliminate all ethics: If you

Before the boulder falls, I should explain that I really don't know what I'm talking about. A story logically begins at the beginning. But this story is about the universe, and unfortunately there are no data for the Very Beginning. None, zero. We don't know anything about the universe until it reaches the mature age of a billionth of a trillionth of a secondthat is, some very short time after creation in the Big Bang. When you read or hear anything about the birth of the universe, someone is making it up. We are in the realm of philosophy. Only God knows what happened at the Very Beginning (and so far She hasn't let on). Now, where were we? Oh yes

Extractions: document.isTrellix = 1; John Dalton's Model Joseph John Thomson Model Rutherford Bohr Model ... Quantum Model The History of the Atom "We might as well attempt to introduce a new planet into the solar system, or to annihilate one already in existence, as to create or destroy a particle of hydrogen." -John Dalton (A New System of Chemical Philosophy, 1808) Welcome to the web site dedicated to education regarding the history of the discovery of the atom and the evolution of atomic theory. From ancient Greek times of philosophy to today's technological era of quantum physics, scientists have been mesmerized by what is thought to be the smallest particle - the atom. In Greek, the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Thus, atomos or atom means uncuttable or undividable. Greek Beginnings The concept of the smallest particle was concieved in the 5th centruy BC by Leucippus of Miletus. His pupil, Democritus of Abdera developed five major points that their theory was based upon. Historians have discovered this from the quotations of other Greeks (most of the original documents by Leucippus and Democritus have been lost). In the 4th centruy BC, the well known philosopher Aristotle vehemetly argued that the atomic theory was completely incorrect and was therefore dismissed by scientists for many decades. In fact, the Catholic Church agreed with Aristotle's position and annouced that atomistic ideas were equivalent to those of Godlessness. "Democritus of Abdera said that there is no end to the universe, since it was not created by any outside power."
Greek Philosophy - Democritus Democritus (Dimokritos) ca.460 370 BC democritus of abdera (Thrace, Greece)is best known for his atomic theory but he was also an excellent geometer. http://www.hellenism.net/eng/democritus.htm
Extractions: Democritus of Abdera (Thrace, Greece) is best known for his atomic theory but he was also an excellent geometer. Very little is known of his life but we know that Leucippus was his teacher. Democritus certainly visited Athens when he was a young man, principally to visit Anaxagoras, but Democritus complained how little he was known there. His travels took him to Egypt, Persia and Babylon, and some claim he travelled to India and Ethiopia. Certainly he was a man of great learning. Although little is known of his life, quite a lot is known of his physics and philosophy. There are two main sources for our knowledge of his of physical and philosophical theories. Firstly Aristotle discusses Democritus's ideas thoroughly because he strongly disagreed with his ideas of atomism. The second source is in the work of Epicurus but, in contrast to Aristotle, Epicurus is a strong believer in Democritus's atomic theory. Certainly Democritus was not the first to propose an atomic theory. His teacher Leucippus had proposed an atomic system, as had Anaxagoras of Clazomenae. In fact traces of an atomic theory go back further than this, perhaps to the Pythagorean notion of the regular solids playing a fundamental role in the makeup of the universe. However Democritus produced a much more elaborate and systematic view of the physical world than had any of his predecessors. His view is summarised in: Democritus asserted that space, or the Void, had an equal right with reality, or Being, to be considered existent. He conceived of the Void as a vacuum, an infinite space in which moved an infinite number of atoms that made up Being (i.e. the physical world). These atoms are eternal and invisible; absolutely small, so small that their size cannot be diminished (hence the name atomon, or "indivisible"); absolutely full and incompressible, as they are without pores and entirely fill the space they occupy; and homogeneous, differing only in shape, arrangement, position, and magnitude.

Extractions: Democritus of Abdera, commonly known as the Laughing Philosopher, probably because he did not consider the study of truth inconsistent with a cheerful countenance, believed and taught that all bodies were continually throwing off certain images like themselves, which subtle emanations, striking on our bodily organs, gave rise to our sensations. Epicurus borrowed the idea from him, and incorporated it into the famous system, of which Lucretius has given us the most popular version. Those who are curious on the matter will find the poet's description at the beginning of his fourth book. Forms, effigies, membranes, or films are the nearest representatives of the terms applied to these effluences. They are perpetually shed from the surfaces of solids, as bark is shed by trees. Cortex is indeed, one of the names applied to them by Lucretius. These evanescent films may be seen in one of their aspects in any clear, calm sheet of water, in a mirror, in the eye of an animal by one who looks at it in front, but better still by the consciousness behind the eye in the ordinary act of vision. They must be packed like the leaves of a closed book; for suppose a mirror to give an image of an object a mile off, it will give one at every point less than a mile, though this were subdivided into a million parts. Yet the images will not be the same; for the one taken a mile off will be very small, at half a mile as large again, at a hundred feet fifty times as large, and so on, as long as the mirror can contain the image.
