14524	Bodies are combinations of shape, size, resistance and weight [Epicurus]
	Full Idea: Epicurus said that body was conceived as an aggregate of shape and size and resistance and weight.
	From: Epicurus (Principle Doctrines ('Kuriai Doxai') (frags) [c.290 BCE])
	A reaction: [Source Sextus 'Adversus Mathematicos' 10.257] Note that this is how we 'conceive' them. They might be intrinsically different, except that Epicurus is pretty much a phenomenalist.
