Duhem I 12
Atomism/CartesiansVsAtomism/Duhem: Atomism considers phenomena as realities. According to Descartes, matter is identical with the extension in length, depth and width. Nothing but different shapes and different movements must be considered. Matter is incompressible and absolutely homogeneous. Empty space and atoms are illusions. >Cf. >Relationism, >Substantivalism.

Esfeld I 210
DescartesVsAtomism: There is no smallest indivisible body.
There are neither immaterial forms, nor very small bodies, which necessarily remain intact in all changes.
Since every body is divisible, there is no physical shape that cannot disappear.
((s) Cf. Atomism in relation to language: >Atomic sentences.)
