    Extractions: LEUCIPPUS, Greek philosopher, born at Miletus (or Elea), founder of the Atomistic theory, contemporary of Zeno, Empedocles and Anaxagoras. His fame was so completely overshadowed by that of Democritus, who subsequently developed the theory into a system, that his very existence was denied by Epicurus (Diog. Laert. x. 7), followed in modern times by Rohde. Epicurus, however, distinguishes Leucippus from Democritus, and Aristotle and Theophrastus expressly credit him with the invention of Atomism. There seems, therefore, no reason to doubt his existence, although nothing is known of his life, an... [read entire biography] Source External Publication

Leibnitz, Gottfried Wilhelm (1646-1716) German mathematician (co-inventor of Calculus, modern mathematical logic), physicist (law of conservaion of energy), geologist, etc., etc. Initially a mechanical materialist in philosophy, but in opposition to Locke's empiricism, moved to a position of rationalism and objective idealism with his theory of Monads - the indivisible, spiritual substances of which the Universe is composed; the monads were endowed with self-activity, but had no physical influence on one another; held that the criterion of truth is clarity of knowledge, tested by the application of Aristotle's Formal Logic. See Hegel's analysis and on Law of Sufficient Ground Leibniz is most renowned as co-founder of the calculus with Newton (Newton and Leibniz each invented different systems of notations for calculus independently; there was an intensely competitive relation between the two men who would set each other mathematical puzzles to see whose calculus was superior, and Newton faked the date of publication of the second edition of the Principia to claim priority) and founder of mathematical and symbolic logic. Leibniz also did important work in mechanics, geology, biology, history, linguistics and engineering. He was prominent in the public affairs of his day, putting a scheme for the unification of the German states, which had been the legacy of the Thirty Years War, to the Imperial Diet, argued for the reunification of the Protestant and Catholic Churches, founded the Academy of Sciences under Frederick I of Prussia, and participated in every sphere of science, art and public life in the Europe of the Habsburgs and Louis XIV.

    Extractions: Anaxagorus was the first philosopher to visit Athens. Burnett described him as a Persian soldier from Klazomenai, a Greek city that had been conquered by the Persians. He was a teacher of Pericles, and a student of the school of Anaximenes. He was banished from Athens for saying that the sun was a red hot stone and that the moon was like earth. Anaxagorus began by trying to explain the world in a Milesian sense while respecting the conclusions of Parmenides. Empedokles had taught that everything in the world was made from four basic elements. Anaxagorus denied this possibility. He said that there was a little of everything in everything. Or else how could hair be made of what is not hair unless hair was part of it. All things are together, was the way he put it, and everything however small or great had an equal number of portions of the opposites. Matter is infinitely indivisible. No matter how small you may divide anything it still had the same number of opposites. However, everything gives the appearance of that which is most in it. Therefore air is that which has in it most cold, fire has in it most heat, and so on. LEUCIPPUS Of all of the followers of Parmenides by far the boldest was Leucippus who challenged the basic thesis of the masters philosophy, that what is not cannot be. When Pythagorus developed his theory of the one and the many, the many were separated by the void, or what is not. Parmenides rejected this idea. Leucippus revived it. Following the lead of Parmenides, Leucippus argued that what is must be one, but it is a plenum, he said, a plenum filled with an infinite number of bodies each of which meets all of the requirements of the one but are separated from all others by the void. These he called atoms. They were infinitely hard and indivisible, they came in a myriad shapes and sizes, and everything that exists is made up of them. This idea was further developed by Democritus and we will discuss him later because he was a contemporary of Plato, and like him a student of Socrates.

    http://www.tmth.edu.gr/en/aet/4/64.html
    
    Extractions: Ancient philosopher, founder of the atomic theory. His birthplace is variously given as Miletus, Abdera and Elea. The Epicureans doubted his existence. Aristotle records that there was no essential difference between the teachings of Leucippus and those of his disciple Democritus. The powerful personality of the latter appears to overshadowed the former, and the disciple has remained famous while the master is forgotten. Leucippus lived in the 5th century BC and was a contemporary of Empedocles and Anaxagoras. He is credited with two treatises, the "Great World System" (Megas Diakosmos), the fundamental textbook of the atomist school, and the "On the mind". While nothing definite is known of the second, a short account of the first has survived.

    Extractions: Peter Paul Rubens A.D.1616, Alte Pinakothek (Munich), 224 x 210.5 cm Rubens (1577-1640) is one of a few painters who have an enormous reputation and a gracious living. He started his business (studio) when he was 21 years old and then served Roman Catholic Church and the royal family for all his life. Rubens was possessed of an artist's brilliance of mind and a merchant 's intelligence. Before he die, there were over 2,000 works produced from his studio. Rubens greatly admired DA Vinci's " The Battle of Anghiari ". He was spellbound by the scene crowded with human,animals and violence. He repeatedly attempted this theme in his life." Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus"is one of the most successful works. Rubens took the unity of composition and exaggerated postures from "The Battle of Anghiari".And in the meanwhile, he also displayed his remarkable technique in painting.The gray horse and dark brown horse , the dark armor and the brown warriors all served as a foil to the plump ,smooth-skinned and lifelike women. We even could feel trembles of the rich bodies.
