Démocrite d'Abdère (en grec Δημόκριτος / Dêmókritos, « choisi par le peuple »), né vers 460 av. J.-C. à Abdère et mort en 370 av. J.-C., est un philosophe grec considéré comme matérialiste en raison de sa conception d'un Univers constitué d'atomes et de vide. Il a été un disciple de Leucippe, le fondateur de l'atomisme ; Diogène Laërce attribue injustement l'ouvrage de Démocrite à propos de l'atomisme à Épicure. En savoir plus sur Wikipédia
