What is the natural philosophy of ancient Greece that sought to explain the universe in terms of logical thought and physical causes?

  1. Stoicism

  2. Epicureanism

  3. Skepticism

  4. Atomism

The correct answer is: Atomism

Atomism was a prevalent belief in ancient Greece that sought to understand the universe through logical reasoning and physical causes. Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Skepticism are all also ancient Greek philosophies, but they do not focus on this specific aspect of the universe. Stoicism focuses more on living a virtuous life, Epicureanism on pleasure and avoiding pain, and Skepticism on questioning knowledge and beliefs. Therefore, they are not the natural philosophy that sought to explain the universe in terms of logical thought and physical causes.
