Description
Publisher's Description of On the Nature of Things
Very little is known about the Roman poet and philosopher Titus
Lucretius Carus. His birth and death dates are based off of
cross-referencing works that mention him, and pieces of evidence derived
from his writing, and are believed to be circa 99 BC–54 BC. “On the
Nature of Things” is Lucretius’s only known work. The goal of the text
is to explain Epicurean philosophy to the Roman people. It is addressed
to Gaius Memmius, a praetor and patron of Lucretius. Presented in this
work is an argument for atomism, the assertion that it is not the Gods
that are responsible for the happenings of the world, but rather atoms
and voids. Lucretius also argues that death is simply the dissipation of
the human mind, and that it is not something we should fear. “On the
Nature of Things” is a detailed articulation of ancient
thought-provoking debates which are still relevant today. This edition
is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the verse translation of
William Ellery Leonard, and includes an introduction by Cyril Bailey.
