Recenzii
This landmark collection treats the complex problem of atomism with the sophistication it deserves, providing ample resources for studying its historical and systematic aspects. I am particularly glad to see that pertinent mereological discussions from the Indian and Islamic traditions are covered as well.
An indispensable collection for all interested in metaphysics. The essays are remarkably lucid, providing any interested reader with deft summaries and clear signposts. This comprehensive collection works as compelling history of how a fundamental idea in classical Greek philosophy travelled through epochs and across disciplines, finding reverberations in classical Asian philosophy, while inspiring insight to problems and continuing to cause questions and provoke debate in this global millennium.
This inspiring collection begins with a series of important and original studies of atomism as a philosophical and scientific theory in Latin and Greek antiquity. But it goes on to offer an intellectual journey through a web of historical parallels to the ancient Western theories, and receptions and reinventions of atomism through to contemporary metaphysics. It is rare for such a wide-ranging collection to cohere so well, or to offer so much to seduce the reader into broadening the horizons of their interest in the subject.
This is an original and unprecedented collection. It is not just a history of atomism, from antiquity to the present day, but also - and perhaps more significantly - an exploration of what it means to be an atomist in different philosophical areas and so of what atomism ultimately is.
