Which one for the first thinkers to form Free will in antiquity was also well-known for formulation of an atomic theory of the universe?
Democritus Democritus ( ; Greek: Δημόκριτος , "Dēmókritos", meaning "chosen of the people"; c. 460 – c. 370 BC ) was an influential Ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher primarily remembered today for his formulation of an atomic theory of the universe.
Johann Sturm Johann Christoph Sturm (3 November 1635 – 26 December 1703) was a German philosopher. Sturm is the author of "Physica Electiva" (1697), a book which criticized Leibniz and prompted him to publish a rebuke. Sturm's critique was aimed at Leibniz's view that Nature and/or its constituent parts possess some creative force of their own. This criticism was partly theological, in that Sturm claimed Leibniz's view of Nature undermined the sovereignty of the Creator.
