Ancient Greek philosopher. Born in Miletus, a city in the Ionian region of Asia Minor (there are also Abdera and Elea theories). Founder of atomic theory. He considered the origin of all things (arche) to be infinitesimal atoms, and transferred to these atoms the characteristics of immortality, immortality, and unchanging that the Eleatics attributed to To-Eon (true existence). On the other hand, he went against the Eleatics and considered atoms to be infinitesimal in number, and taught that they move in emptiness, and that all things are created and destroyed by their coming together and coming apart. Democritus is said to be his disciple, but the theories of the two are difficult to distinguish, and some even deny that Leucippus even existed.

古代ギリシアの哲学者。小アジアのイオニア地方の町ミレトスに生まれる(ほかにアブデラ説、エレア説もある)。原子論の創始者。万物のもとのもの(アルケー)を極微なアトムであるとし、エレア学派がト・エオン(真実在)に付与した不生・不滅・不変といった特徴をこのアトムに譲渡したが、反面、エレア学派に逆らって、アトムを数において無限であると考え、これらは空虚のなかを運動しており、その離合集散によって万物が生成したり消滅したりすると説いている。デモクリトスは彼の弟子とされるが、両者の所説は区別しがたく、レウキッポスの生存そのものを否定した人もいる。 [鈴木幹也 2015年2月17日] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
