corpuscular theory of light
In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Pierre Gassendi and Thomas Hobbes, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" (little particles) which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
==Mechanical Philosophy==
In the early 17th century, natural philosophers were seeking new information to replace Aristotelianism that had been popular for centuries. Various European philosophers adopted what came to be known as mechanical philosophy sometime between around 1610 to 1650, which described the universe and its contents as a kind of large-scale mechanism, a philosophy that explained the universe is made with matter and motion.〔(WorldCat.org permalink ) Reconfiguring the World: Nature, God, and Human Understanding from the Middle Ages to Early Modern Europe. Osler, Margaret J. Baltimore; Maryland, U.S. : The Johns Hopkins University Press. 2010. pp. 78–82, pp. 84–86.〕 This mechanical philosophy was based on Epicureanism, and the work of Leucippus and his pupil Democritus and their atomism, in which everything in the universe including a person's body, mind and soul and event thoughts were made of atoms, infinite number of very small particles of moving matter. During the early part of the 17th century, the atomistic portion of mechanical philosophy was largely developed by Gassendi, René Descartes and other atomists.
