-From [[wp>Ancient Greek]]: <span :grc>ὀμοιομερής</span> [<i :grc-Latn>homoiomerés</i>], loosely translated: "homogeneous parts". In the philosophy of [[wp>Anaxagoras|Anaxagoras of Clazomenae]], an early idea of the concept we would today call "atoms", i.e. indivisible particles that make up the qualities of a material.
+#REDIRECT logic:emergence:homoeomeria
-However, Anaxagoras assumed that these smallest particles already contained all the properties of the material they form: In his view, water "atoms" were //wet//, those of iron //hard// and those of wool //soft//.
-From a modern perspective – with a better understanding of molecules and material properties – it is not difficult to recognize the underlying error in this thinking: such properties only //emerge// if you have a plurality of //atoms//, or in some cases even by the interaction of different materials.
-This concept thus commits the [[logic:informal_fallacies:emergence:division|fallacy of division]] and the term is also used derivatively as a synonym for this fallacy.
