Excerpt from T. Lucreti Cari De Rerum Natura: A Selection From the Fifth Book (783-1457); Edited With Introduction, Analyses and Notes
This edition has been prepared in the hope that with its help some of the finest and most vivid Latin poetry that sur vives may in the future be read in lower forms than has been hitherto usual.
There is a natural objection to reading part of a poem or to beginning in the middle of a book, and it is hoped that an edition which omits the preceding eight hundred lines, a long and difficult passage with no particular connexion with this selection, and which so presents a subject of more reasonable length for a middle form, will virtually if not actually remove such hesitation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of the universe and the origins of life, as expounded by the philosopher Lucretius. The author presents Epicurus's teachings on physics, metaphysics, and ethics, examining topics such as the nature of matter, the mortality of the soul, and the origins of civilization. Lucretius believed that the universe was made up of atoms and void, and that everything in existence was subject to natural laws. He argued that the gods did not intervene in human affairs and that happiness could be achieved through the pursuit of knowledge and the cultivation of virtue. This book offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of Lucretian philosophy and its implications for our understanding of the world.
