Plato's theory of space and the geometrical composition of the elements
pp. 21-25
Abstrakt
The physics of Plato's Timaeus appears to be closely related to the physics of Leucippus and Democritus.1 The role which they attribute to non-being, to nothing-at-all, to the void (τòμη òν, τ ò κɛνòν), Plato attributes to what he calls space (η χώρα).2
