Hello everybody,

Why Democritus? If you come up with axiom like "in truth there are but atoms and the void" or "I think therefore I exist", it ought to be Democritus or Descartes. Mine is an arbitrary choice- since both axioms appear superlatively important to me.

I would like to see the topics under logicians microscope.

It is good to see some sensible comments on challenging questions and hope that my comments will be useful contribution to the subjects.

Regards,
democritus

Truthfully I've never seen an atom or a void, have you?
And even if I don't think as some would agree, I still thoughtlessly am.

Welcome
