@ TELEGRAM: DEMOCRITUS WAS A PRE-SOCRATIC GREEK PHILOSOPHER. HE IS POPULARLY KNOWN AS “THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER“ FOR ADVOCATING A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK, AND FOR HIS RHETORICAL USE OF IRONY AND RIDICULE. A PUPIL OF LEUCIPPUS, HE WAS AN INFLUENTIAL PRE-SOCRATIC PHILOSOPHER WHO FORMULATED AN ATOMIC THEORY OF THE UNIVERSE. ATOMISM IS A NATURAL PHILOSOPHY PROPOSING THAT THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS COMPOSED OF FUNDAMENTAL INDIVISIBLE COMPONENTS KNOWN AS HIS VOLUMINOUS WRITINGS, ONLY A FEW FRAGMENTS OF HIS ETHICAL THEORY REMAIN, WITH DESCRIPTIONS BY OTHER WRITERS OF HIS ATOMIC THEORY. MANY CONSIDER DEMOCRITUS TO BE THE “FATHER OF MODERN SCIENCE“. #democritus #historyandphilosophy #innabesedina #philosophy #presocraticphilosophy #atomism #education #cosmology #epistemology #ethics #science #knowledge #westernphilosophy #moralphilosophy #cognition #politicalphilosophy #selfdevelopment #selfeducation #studying #philosophical #philosophicalthoughts #thoughts #selfgrowth #interesting #interestingthoughts #ancientsocialphilosophy 00:00 DEMOCRITUS 01:15 PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE 02:04 AESTHETICS 02:25 ATOMIC HYPOTHESIS 02:58 VOID HYPOTHESIS 03:45 EPISTEMOLOGY 04:18 ETHICS AND POLITICS 06:05 COSMOLOGY MANY IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO ARE IMAGES IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
