ATOMICAL Philosophy

, or the doctrine of atoms, a system which accounted for the origin and formation of things, from the hypothesis that atoms are endued with weight and motion. This philosophy was first taught by Moschus, some time before the Trojan war: but it was most cultivated by Epicurus; whence it is called the Epicurean philosophy.
