De Rerum Natura
'De Rerum Natura' Summary
Lucretius begins by outlining the basic principles of Epicureanism, including the idea that the universe is composed of atoms and void, and that all things are subject to natural laws. He then argues that the fear of death is irrational, since death is simply the cessation of consciousness. Once we understand this, we can live our lives more fully and without fear.Book Details
