that different entities interact in so
far as they are the same. Moreover,
action can only take place through di-
rect physical contacts such as blows
or pressure. Because the Atomists de-
nied that any action could take place
at a distance, the possibility of an im-
material power was definitely ruled
out of their system.
The genesis of the material world
has two interpretations, The first, at-

begins with the assumption that atoms
‘falling at random in space occur in
They move toward the center accord-
ing to their various weights. As the
larger atoms work their way in, they
strike the smaller atoms on the side
and drive them out. This action pro-
duces lateral motions that cause vor-
tices. The continued activity of these
whirling masses of atoms creates
many worlds. The division of the ele-
ments arises from the sifting of the
atoms in layers according to the prin-
ciple that like combines with like. The
earth, composed’ of heavy coarse
atoms, occupies the center and is sur-
rounded by water. The two outer lay-
ers are first air and then fire.
The second interpretation of .the
genesis is probably the invention of
Epicurus and Lucretius. A modifica-
tion of the original system was
thought necessary because of Aris-
totle’s devastating criticism of vor-
tices. He pointed out that if space
had no resistance, the heavy and light
atoms would fall: at the same rate of

speed. Epicurus agreed with Aris-
totle and tried to remedy the situation
by revising the 6ld idea of Democritus,
Unfortunately, in his efforts to cor-
rect one mistake, he contradicted the
most fundamental principle of~ the
Atomistic system.
Epicurus decided that the genesis
of the universe started with a rain of
atoms in space. The first lateral mo-
tion was caused by an inexplicable
deviation of one of the atoms. Such
an action could only be explained by
the existence of a free will.. Thus an
element of arbitrariness was introduc-
ed into nature. This interpretation,
ignoring the necessity of cause and -
allowing something to come out of
nothing, was entirely incompatible
with the mechanistic world view.

He says: “I think there’s a great field for psy-

worth. When I’m listless or ‘low,’ smoking a
Camel gives me a quick upturn in energy. Physi-
cal and mental fatigue drop away! The enjoy-
ment one gets from Camel’s fine flavor is an impor-
tant psychological factor in maintaining poise.”
