Document Summary
We all suppose the world we see is the world itself. The truth about reality and the world is completely different from what we take to be the truth based off of our senses. Ultimate being is not one being but multitudes in nature (multiplicity) Nature consists of atoms and void (materialism) Atoms are not only too small to see, but too small to change. The ultimate starting point for destruction and creation. Never explicitly states that gods do not exist. Plato accused him materialism to be atheism. If gods did exist, they would have a body (and is therefore a mortal) The only differences between atoms are the size and shape, the qualities that atoms have. Therefore, you cannot take a bunch of intrinsically colorless atoms and create colour. Colour is a secondary quality, arises through the interaction of atoms and soul interactions.
