Although in terms of my own research I am a medievalist, the opportunity to comment upon David Furley's paper is an extremely welcome one largely because both of us have -- perhaps for longer than we would like to think -- been working on the history of atomism: he on the Greeks, myself on various fourteenth-century Latin philosophers and scientists. Thus, in spite of the chronological and cultural differences, I have always found David Furley's work extremely important for my own research. Indeed, through the kindness of Gregory Vlastos, I was able to read Furley's important book on Greek atomism a number of years before its publication.
