12695	Epicurean atomists say body is sensible, to distinguish it from space. [Garber]
	Full Idea: The Epicurean atomists also defined body in terms of the property of being sensible, in order to distinguish it from empty space, which is not sensible.
	From: Daniel Garber (Leibniz:Body,Substance,Monad [2009], 1)
	A reaction: This is a very illuminating bit of background, for those of us who have the knee-jerk reaction that monadology is barking mad.
