Beschreibung: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States, 2014. Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. What is astounding about this epic poem is that it was written more than 2,000 years ago, when the Roman universe was still accounted for by heroes, demigods, and gods-both native and imported. From the very beginning one feels the athletic language of a poet determined to explain things and creatures in simple language. Although he frequently complains about the "poverty" of Latin to explain the concepts he had in mind, he never gives up in his efforts; at worst his verses reveal a clear-headed poet. The task he set for himself -to anyone else- would have been too daunting to tackle, yet patiently he attempts to demolish old theories and traditions that had for too long overcome good sense. He deeply believed that matter consisted of minute building blocks he called atoms that their conjunction would spawn things and creatures-including sentient beings. Yet, one tradition -the Aristotelian- was difficult for Lucretius to overthrow, given the tremendous authority that Aristotle's teaching had garnered over the years. As time and experience has proven, Lucretius eventually won the battle. De rerum natura miraculously has survived wars, lootings, burnings, and other calamities; and worst of all: censoring. From Machiavelli, Montaigne, Thomas More, to Thomas Jefferson-Lucretius's poem continues to exert great influence. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers APC9781497481961

Beschreibung: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2008. Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Lucretius' poem On the Nature of Things combines a scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry ever written. With intense moral fervour he demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed by the mechanical laws of nature and not by gods; and that by believing this men can live in peace of mind and happiness. He bases this on the atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus, and continues with an examination of sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology, all of these subjects made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them.

Beschreibung: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States, 2016. Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. The Nature of Things is the ancient Roman philosopher Lucretius's attempt to explain the nature of Epicurean philosophy to the everyday audience. Otherwise known by its Latin title, De rerum natura, this scientific work takes the form of a lengthy didactic poem. The Nature of Things is in many ways an early form of popular science - seeks to clarify and make readily understandable the principles of philosophy pioneered by Democritus and supported by Epicurus: Atomism - whereby two forms of reality are possible; nature and void. The poem is wide ranging, explaining the classical theories then in vogue regarding the creation of the planet Earth, the composition of the human mind and soul, and how human beings feel the sensations and think the thoughts that they do. The celestial bodies, a source of curiosity for many in antiquity, are explained together with phenomena such as comets. Markedly opposed to the Roman state religion, whereby a pantheon of Gods held sway over specific parts of the world, Lucretius poem vaunts the rudimentary scientific approach of antiquity based on observations, recordings and logical, theoretical posits. Lucretius himself had a withering attitude to religion, believing that humanity would be better off without the 'dread' felt from entertaining the various deities. A philosophical classic over two millennia since its initial publication, this edition presents the Nature of Things unabridged and properly formatted. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers APC9781536884661

Beschreibung: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States, 2016. Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. On the Nature of Things by Roman philosopher and poet Lucretius outlines the early classical theories concerning physics and the natural world. Drawing on the atomism theory of Democritus, dating over 400 years prior to his masterwork, Lucretius main aim with his poem is to explain the various theories on why the world is as it is. Designed to be read publicly and by solitary readers, the wide ranging and lengthy poem examines the nature of the world, of sensation, of human consciousness, and of the celestial bodies above us. Conversations on matter, space and reality were unusual in ancient times, with many ordinary citizens encouraged to lay the responsibility for such with the Roman Gods. In writing this poem, Lucretius aimed to popularise the theories and explanations of individual physicists and thinkers, over those of the temple priests. Lucretius himself held logic and reason in high regard, championing the philosophers who sought to discover and refine their view of the world. Indeed Epicurus, whom Lucretius admired for his fervent support of Greek traditions in scientific observation and examination, is the subject of and inspiration for much of the poem.
