Book Overview

This foundational work of Epicurean philosophy, written as a didactic poem, explores the nature of the universe, human life, and the gods. Lucretius presents a materialist view of the cosmos, arguing that everything consists of atoms and void. Through vivid descriptions, he discusses topics like the formation of the world, the soul, and the pursuit of tranquility, all aimed at liberating humanity from fear and superstition.

About Lucretius

Titus LUCRETIUS Carus (who died c. 50 BC) was an Epicurean poet writing in the middle years of the first century BC. His six-book Latin hexameter poem De rerum natura survives virtually intact, although it is disputed whether he lived to put the finishing touches to it. As well as being a pioneering figure in the history of philosophical poetry, Lucretius has come to be our primary source of information on Epicurean physics, the official topic of his poem.
