@gutenberg_org Yes, #HappyBirthday 🎂 to #physicist #MaxPlanck , who in 1900 was the founder of the #QuantumTheory - of #energy.

But a century earlier, using empirical data from 18th century #chemistry , #chemist #JohnDalton correctly postulated what could be called the #QuantumTheory of mass when he resurrected and modernized the #AncientGreek #philosophy of #Atomism attributed to #Democritus. #Histodons

I really want to talk to someone about #Spinoza's anti-teleological view, which #Schopenhauer tries to blame on a wish to avoid "speculative theology."

I think it's the opposite; Spinoza's theological view comes as a result of his seeing through the anthropomorphic illusion of teleology in nature. In this way, his insight is similar to the #Buddha #Nietzsche #Darwin and #Taoism.

Possibly also #Epicurus #Democritus et al; I have yet to read enough #Lucretius to say for sure.
