Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus) lived ca. 99-ca. 55 BCE, but the details of his career are unknown. He is the author of the great didactic poem in hexameters, "De Rerum Natura" ("On the Nature of Things"). In six books compounded of solid reasoning, brilliant imagination, and noble poetry, he expounds the scientific theories of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, with the aim of dispelling fear of the gods and fear of death and so enabling man to attain peace of mind and happiness. In Book 1 he establishes the general principles of the atomic system, refutes the views of rival physicists, and proves the infinity of the universe and of its two ultimate constituents, matter and void. In Book 2 he explains atomic movement, the variety of atomic shapes, and argues that the atoms lack colour, sensation, and other secondary qualities. In Book 3 he expounds the nature and composition of mind and spirit, proves their mortality, and argues that there is nothing to fear in death. Book 4 explains the nature of sensation and thought, and ends with an impressive account of sexual love. Book 5 describes the nature and formation of our world, astronomical phenomena, the beginnings of life on earth, and the development of civilization. In Book 6 the poet explains various atmospheric and terrestrial phenomena, including thunder, lightning, earthquakes, volcanoes, the magnet, and plagues. The work is distinguished by the fervour and poetry of the author.

评分我手中的版本是1986年6月第2版，1997年10月第7次印刷。印刷错误有：第241页第十二行：“者或”应为“或者”；第229页注释②倒数第二行：“精测”应为“猜测”；第319页第二行：“毛葺葺”应为“毛茸茸”；第368页第9行：“黑越越”应为“黑魆魆”。 据罗素讲，卢克...
评分1. 生前死后的“对称”与“非对称” 死后的状态（而非死亡本身）是否会伤害一个人？卢克莱修的答案是否定的，他运用“对称性论证”的方式（Symmetry Argument）证明了他的观点。他将无穷尽的时间看做一条直线，人的一生是这直线上的一小段，甚至是一个点，这样人的生前与死后就...
