I am particularly glad to see that pertinent mereological discussions from the Indian and Islamic traditions are covered as well. * Jan Westerhoff, Professor of Buddhist Philosophy, University of Oxford, UK *\u003cbr\u003eAn indispensable collection for all interested in metaphysics. The essays are remarkably lucid, providing any interested reader with deft summaries and clear signposts. This comprehensive collection works as compelling history of how a fundamental idea in classical Greek philosophy travelled through epochs and across disciplines, finding reverberations in classical Asian philosophy, while inspiring insight to problems and continuing to cause questions and provoke debate in  this global millennium. * Katherine O'Donnell, Associate Professor of History of Ideas, University College Dublin, Ireland *\u003cbr\u003eThis inspiring collection begins with a series of important and original studies of atomism as a philosophical and scientific theory in Latin and Greek antiquity. But it goes on to offer an intellectual journey through a web of historical parallels to the ancient Western theories, and receptions and reinventions of atomism through to contemporary metaphysics. It is rare for such a wide-ranging collection to cohere so well, or to offer so much to seduce the reader into broadening the horizons of their interest in the subject. * George Boys-Stones, Professor of Classics and Philosophy, University of Toronto, Canada *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an original and unprecedented collection. It is not just a history of atomism, from antiquity to the present day, but also – and perhaps more significantly – an exploration of what it means to be an atomist in different philosophical areas and so of what atomism ultimately is. * Gabriele Galluzzo, Senior Lecturer in Ancient Philosophy, University of Exeter, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors Preface \u0026amp; Acknowledgments Abbreviations and Transliterations   General Introduction, \u003ci\u003eUgo Zilioli\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cb\u003ePART I.
