a sect of philosophers in ancient Greece, usually ranked as atheists. The system seems to have originated with Leucippus, and to have been carried to a more systemratic form by Democritus. The fundamental principle of the system was the eternal existence of matter in the form of an infinite number of atoms in infinite space. (See DEMIOCRITUS); (See EPICURUS); (See LEUCIPPUS).
