Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 3 includes the writings of Anaxagoras, Melissus, Diogenes of Apollonia, and the ancient Atomists. The fragments and testimonies have been newly translated and are extensively elucidated by means of comparisons with literary, medical, and technical writings of the period. The book also includes a critical examination of current research, thus developing a new and unusually differentiated picture of the natural philosophers.
