Democritus was a Greek philosopher who proposed the concept of atomism, suggesting that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle, on the other hand, believed in a continuous, infinite and indivisible substance called "hyle." Democritus's atomism focused on the idea of empty space between atoms and their constant motion, while Aristotle's view emphasized the qualities and elements that composed matter.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau is the philosopher who first popularized the idea of the general will, which he believed represents the common interest of the people and should guide the decisions of society for the greater good.
