Publisher's Synopsis

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.
