Question

what do you know about the corpuscular nature of matter
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Corpuscularianism (from the Latin corpusculum meaning "little body") is a set of theories that explain natural transformations as a result of the interaction of particles (minima naturalia, partes exiles, partes parvae, particulae, and semina).[1] It differs from atomism in that corpuscles are usually endowed with a property of their own and are further divisible, while atoms are neither. Although often associated with the emergence of early modern mechanical philosophy, and especially with the names of Thomas Hobbes,[2] René Descartes,[3] Pierre Gassendi,[4] Robert Boyle,[4] Isaac Newton,[5] and John Locke,[4] corpuscularian theories can be found throughout the history of Western philosophy.

Answer 2

There is a debate going on for centuries about the corpuscular nature of matter.Anancient

Greek philosopher, Empedocles thought that all

materials are made up of four things called elements:

1. Earth 2. Air 3. Water 4. Fire

Plato adopted Empedocles theory and coined the term element to describe these four substances. His successor, Aristotle also adopted the concept of four elements. He introduced the idea that elements can be differentiated on the basis of properties such as hot

versus cold and wet versus dry. For example, heating clay in an oven could be thought of as driving of water

and adding fire, transforming clay into a pot.

Similarly water (cold & wet) falls from the sky as rain, when air (hot and wet) cools down. The Greek concept of four

elements existed for more than two thousand years.
