Description

Lucretius On The Nature Of Things is a philosophical treatise written by the Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius. The book explores the principles of Epicurean philosophy, which emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain as the ultimate goal of human life. Lucretius argues that the universe is made up of atoms and void, and that everything in existence can be explained by the interactions of these fundamental particles. He also discusses the nature of the soul, the role of religion in society, and the importance of living a virtuous life. The book is written in poetic form and is considered a masterpiece of ancient literature. It has had a significant influence on the development of modern science and philosophy, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
