atomic theory

The Karaites before Maimonides adopted the atomic theory without question.

The Mutakallimun were opposed to the Aristotelian theory of matter and form, and substituted for it the atomic theory.

But he shows himself a more loyal follower of the Kalam by frankly adopting the atomic theory, whereas Saadia opposes it (p. 25).

Maimonides's criticism of the atomic theory of matter and motion just described is that it undermines the bases of geometry.

This is the proof of the atomic theory and it has nothing to do with the matter of the origin of the world.
