Democritus was an ancient Greek natural philosopher. He was one of the most influential people in the history of atomism in philosophy. Many also think of him as the "father of modern science" because of how accurate his philosophical ideas are.
Democritus was born in Abdera, Thrace, and, according to Aristotle, is best known for spreading the atomic theory of the universe, which was started by his teacher Leucippus. This theory explains how natural things work by saying that they are caused by the arrangement and rearrangement of atoms that exist and move in a void.
Democritus's ideas were different from those of philosophers like Aristotle and Plato. It is also said that Plato hated Democritus so much that he wanted his books to be burned. Democritus has traveled extensively and shared his views, perspectives, and ideas with scholars worldwide.
Democritus also wrote a lot about astronomy and other natural sciences, mathematics, literature, the philosophy of knowledge, and ethics, among other things. Only a few hundred pieces of his work have been found, most of which are from his ethics writings.
Little Cosmology, which he wrote, was like an encyclopedia, but it was lost because its content annoyed people who decided which of his works should not be kept.
In later times, Democritus became known as "the laughing philosopher," perhaps because he believed pursuing happiness was worthwhile.
Most of his writings have been lost; only bits and pieces of his substantial work and ideas remain.
In this video, we'll discuss some of quotes and sayings by Democritus which have been excerpted from those fragments, available writings, recommendations and work.
