Lucretius

Martin Ferguson Smith's work on Lucretius is both well known and highly regarded. However, his 1969 translation of De Rerum Natura --long out of print--is virtually unknown. Readers will share our excitement in the discovery of this accurate and fluent prose rendering. For this edition, Professor Smith provides a revised translation, new Introduction, headnotes and bibliography.

The purpose of this edition is to demonstrate the quality and interest of book the intellectual curiosity of the analyst of earthquakes, volcanoes and marvellous phenomena, the rhetorical and philosophical powers of a thinker who wants to make his interpretation of Epicureanism both cogent and vivid, the deep humane compassion of the ...

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves & each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war & revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked & comforted. They have enriched lives & destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals & visionaries whose ideas shook civilization & helped make us who we are. Elegant, insightful & startlingly modern, the philosophy of Lucretius deeply influenced the course of European thought; here, he provides one of the first accounts of atomic theory, argues that there can be no life of the soul after death & explores the sickness that we call love.

Latin

Lucretius' poem, for which Epicurean philosophy provided the inspiration, attempts to explain the nature of the universe and its processes with the object of freeing mankind from religious fears.

There are few ancient authors as compelling as scientist, poet, philosopher, passionate observer of nature. While Caesar, Cicero and Vergil have long vied for first place in the classical curriculum, Lucretius' treatment of universal human matters rightfully earns him a place in their company. Catto's text of Lucretius provides 53 passages in 1294 lines, spanning all 6 books of the epic. Each section features a short introduction, discussion questions, vocabulary and extensive line-by-line notes on facing pages and a wide variety of illustrative quotations from both ancient and modern sources.

(Aris and Phillips 1987)

«L'esprit et l'âme se tiennent étroitement unis, et ne forment ensemble qu'une seule substance ; mais ce qui est la tête et ce qui domine pour ainsi dire dans tout le corps, c'est ce conseil que nous appelons l'esprit et la pensée. Et celui-ci a son siège fixé au milieu de la poitrine. C'est là en effet que tressautent l'effroi et la peur ; c'est cette région que la joie fait palpiter doucement : c'est donc là que résident l'esprit et la pensée.» Héritier d'Épicure et de Démocrite, Lucrèce dresse le tableau le plus lisible de la pensée matérialiste de l'Antiquité. Un petit livre pour méditer sur le corps et l'esprit !

Název De rerum natura je přesným latinským překladem starého Epikúrova spisu Peri fyseós, dílo tedy objasňuje epikúrejské učení lidu, didakticko-epická báseň (6 knih) je hlavním představitelem materialismu, dokazuje, že příroda se řídí odvěkými zákony, kde vše vzniká, trvá a zaniká, bohové nemohou zasahovat do světa, který povstal z atomů, neexistuje ani podsvětí a bohové žijí v nečinnosti v nebesích, kde se radují ze své blaženosti,Psáno hexametrem, ale používá, oproti Ovidiovi nebo Vergiliovi, neobvyklé řazení přízvuku, používá archaismy i novotvary, podílí se na vytváření latinské filosofické terminologie převodem z řečtiny, věnovánu příteli Gaiu Memmiovi.
