The theory of atomism refers to the existences of vacuum and basic particles in physical bodies. The foundation stone of this theory was laid by the ancient Greek philosophers, such as Leucippus and Democritus who developed the theory in a praiseworthy manner. They furthermore, identified the substantial qualities of bodies with insubstantial qualities and explained their relationship.
Aristotle, the renowned philosopher of the ancient Greece was among opponents of this theory. In denying the existence of basic particles, that he apparently rejects the existence of partless magnitudes. In challenging the theory of vacuum, he applies some reasons that can be considered as opposing to some of his own philosophical paradigm. The author of this essay is not of the same view and rejects Aristotle’s criticism of the motion of atoms.
