La physique de Democrite, affirmant que tout n’est qu’atomes et vide, a souvent ete percue, des l’Antiquite, comme une vision de la nature austere et reductrice. Nous la connaissons d’ailleurs essentiellement par le truchement des critiques qui lui sont adressees. A l’examen cependant, l’atomisme democriteen revele une subtilite et une richesse d’applications longtemps negligees. La simplicite apparente de la theorie est en fait l’expression de son economie. Celle-ci lui permet en effet de prolonger ses ramifications dans tous les domaines de la philosophie naturelle : geologie, zoologie, embryologie, botanique, ou encore l’explication physiologique de nos representations. Democrite et la recherche des causes invite le lecteur a mener l’enquete aupres de ceux qui, d’Aristote a Simplicius, en passant par Epicure, Lucrece, Plutarque, Galien, Sextus Empiricus, temoignent de cette pensee fondatrice et participent ainsi a l’une des grandes polemiques de la philosophie antique.
