26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 6. Early Matter Theories / g. Atomism

15955	I think the corpuscular theory, rather than forms or qualities, best explains particular phenomena [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: I still subscribe fully to the corpuscular theory in the explanation of particular phenomena; in this sphere it is of no value to speak of forms or qualities.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (Letters to Antoine Arnauld [1686], 14.07.1686)
	A reaction: I am puzzled by Garber's summary in Idea 12728, and a bit unclear on Leibniz's views on atoms. More needed.
