Aristotle
Democritus and Aristotle had differing views on the nature of matter and the universe. Democritus believed in the existence of indivisible particles called atoms, while Aristotle believed in a continuous, infinite substance known as the "quintessence." They disagreed on fundamental aspects of physics, cosmology, and metaphysics.
