Find tips, reviews, and features on Lucretius De Rerum NaturaBook III sold for 39.83 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
The third book of Lucretius great poem on the workings of the universe is devoted entirely to expounding the implications of Epicurus dictum that death does not matter is nothing to us The soul is not immortal it no more exists after the dissolution of the body than it had done before its birth Only if this fact is accepted can men rid themselves of irrational fears and achieve the state of ataraxia freedom from mental disturbance on which the Epicurean definition of pleasure was based To present this case Lucretius deploys the full range of poetic and rhetorical registers soberly prohibitive artfully decorative or passionately emotive as best suits his argument reinforcing it with vivid and compelling imagery This new edition has been completely revised with a considerably enlarged Commentary and a new supplementary introduction taking account of the great amount of new scholarship of the last forty years

The De Rerum Natura of Lucretius is a sustained and impassioned protest against religious superstition and irrationality The poem takes the form of a detailed exposition of Epicurean physical theory an extreme materialism designed to remove and discredit popular fears of the gods death and an afterlife Book III is generally accepted to be the finest in the whole poem Lucretius argues there that the soul is as mortal as the body and shows that human response to the fact of mortality and death can be at once rational dignified and liberating Professor Kenneys commentary is the first to give proper critical emphasis to the techniques and intentions of Lucretius poetry it can be read with profit by all students of Latin from senior school level upwards

Lucretius philosophical epic De Rerum Natura On the Nature of Things is a lengthy didactic and narrative celebration of the universe and in particular the world of nature and creation in which humanity finds its abode This earliest surviving full scale epic poem from ancient Rome was of immense influence and significance to the development of the Latin epic tradition and continues to challenge and haunt its readers to the present day A Reading of Lucretius De Rerum Natura offers a comprehensive commentary on this great work of Roman poetry and philosophy Lee Fratantuono reveals Lucretius to be a poet with deep and abiding interest in the nature of the Roman identity as the children of both Venus through Aeneas and Mars through Romulus the consequences both positive and negative of descent from the immortal powers of love and war are explored in vivid epic narrative as the poet progresses from his invocation to the mother of the children of Aeneas through to the burning funeral pyres of the plague at Athens Lucretius epic offers the possibility of serenity and peaceful reflection on the mysteries of the nature of the world even as it shatters any hope of immortality through its bleak vision of post mortem oblivion And in the process of defining what it means both to be human and Roman Lucretius offers a horrifying vision of the perils of excessive devotion both to the gods and our fellow men a commentary on the nature of pietas that would serve as a warning for Virgil in his later depiction of the Trojan Aeneas
