This edition presents Titus Lucretius Carus's "De Rerum Natura" (On the Nature of Things) with a translation and notes by H.A.J. Munro. Lucretius, a Roman poet and philosopher of the first century BCE, articulated the principles of Epicureanism in his only known work, a didactic poem examining the physical theories of atomism and materialism.
Munro's edition provides English readers access to Lucretius's profound insights into the nature of reality, the cosmos, and the human condition. "De Rerum Natura" explores a range of scientific and philosophical topics, from the behavior of atoms to the origins of life and the nature of the soul. This book remains relevant for those interested in classical philosophy, the history of science, and the enduring questions about existence.
