De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) is a first-century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus. This edition, edited by U. Gahagan, presents Lucretius’s exploration of Epicurean philosophy and physics in six books of Latin verse. The poem covers a vast range of topics, including the atomic theory of the universe, the nature of the soul and mind, explanations of natural phenomena, and critiques of religion and superstition. Lucretius aims to liberate humanity from fear of death and the gods by revealing the material nature of reality. 'De Rerum Natura' is esteemed for its literary beauty and philosophical insight. It remains a cornerstone of classical literature and a vital source for understanding Epicurean thought. This edition offers readers access to Lucretius’s profound vision, inviting them to contemplate the universe and their place within it.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
