Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a philosophical overview of the natural world as understood in ancient times. The author, a Roman philosopher writing in the 1st century BCE, puts forward the theory that all matter is made up of indestructible atoms which he terms 'seeds'. He argues that these atoms are the building blocks of all substances and that by combining in different ways they can create the vast array of objects and phenomena that we see around us. The book provides a fascinating insight into the scientific thought of the ancient world and offers a valuable historical perspective on the development of modern science. The author's ideas about atoms would later be taken up and expanded upon by other philosophers and scientists, and they ultimately laid the foundation for our current understanding of the physical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330722022_0
