Question

A momentary version of these things was theorized by the Buddhist Vaibhashika school. The philosopher Kanada, whose (10[1])name means eater of these things, proposed four kinds (10[1])of (-5[1])these things called paramanu. (10[2]-5[1])Zeno of (10[1])Elea (10[1])argued that accepting the existence (-5[1])of plurality and these things would lead to finite (10[1])and infinite objects, though later thinkers like Epicurus (-5[1])introduced these (10[1])entities (10[2])as (10[2])solutions (10[1])to some of Zeno’s paradoxes. (10[6])In (10[1])De rerum natura, (10[4]-5[1])Lucretius (10[2])claimed (10[1])that free will (10[1])comes from these entities’ (10[2])clinamen, (10[2])or (10[1])swerve. (10[1])Leucippus (10[2])is traditionally credited with proposing a doctrine regarding these entities, while his student (10[1])Democritus (10[2])argued for their (10[1])existence (10[2])by claiming that nothing (10[1])can be indefinitely indivisible. (10[3])For 10 points, name these (10[1])fundamental units of matter. ■END■ (10[4])
