Description
The Atomists: Leucippus and Democritus Fragments is a groundbreaking translation of the key texts of ancient Greek philosophy. For the first time in English, this volume brings together the bulk of surviving writings on the atomists, with commentary and supporting materials. The work presents a new selection of fragments, testimonia, and notes, designed to clarify the structure of their thought and its context. The Atomists explores the metaphysical foundations, psychology, epistemology, ethics, biology, astronomy, and theology of Leucippus and Democritus. This comprehensive collection includes a Greek text facing an English translation, as well as complete indexes, concordances, and bibliography. This volume is a significant contribution to the recovery of Pre-Socratic texts and will be essential for anyone interested in ancient philosophy and the early development of European natural science.
