67. Leucippus of Abdêra

Leucippus of Abdêra was in his prime about 430 B.C. He was credited with one book, called The Great World-Order; and perhaps a monograph On Mind. 1. (Title of book: The Great World-Order, here attributed to Democritus). 1a. (Restoration of Herculanean Papyrus in which Democritus is accused of plagiarising from The Great World-Order' of Leucippus). Certain terms of the Atomic Theory can probably be traced to Leucippus, e.g. Atoms ('uncuttables'). Close-pressed (units). Great Void. Absection. Rhythm (meaning 'form'). p. 91 Contact (meaning 'arrangement'). Aspect (meaning 'position'). Entanglement. Eddy. 2. (From a treatise 'On Mind'). Nothing happens at random; everything happens out of reason and by necessity.
