Limit and Void

Abstract

The purpose of this inquiry is to explicate the sense, unities, and points of departure of the Parmenidean “what-is-not” and the void as conceived of in Ancient Atomic Theory purported to Leucippus and Democritus, hereafter referred to as AAT. I assert that Parmenidean One can be accommodated by AAT given Parmenides relaxes his requirement the One be motionless and hold his commitment to the necessity of limit.
