Beschreibung

Written in the first century B.C., On the Nature of Things (in Latin, De Rerum Natura) is a captivating poem in six books that seeks to convey Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience. Through engaging digressions on the significance of philosophy in human life and a celebration of Epicurus, Lucretius crafts a profound treatise on atomic theory, the fallacies of religion, and various natural phenomena. With a perfect balance of philosophical insight and epic style, the poem dazzles with rich imagery and eloquent expression. (Summary by Leni)
