About Democritus
Democritus (c. 460 – c. 370 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher best known for his formulation of an atomic theory of the universe, which posited that everything is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Often referred to as the "Laughing Philosopher," he emphasized the importance of reason and the pursuit of happiness through wisdom, significantly influencing later philosophical thought and the scientific understanding of matter. His ideas laid foundational concepts for modern science, despite being largely overshadowed by those of his contemporary, Aristotle.
