内容简介
Titus Lucretius Carus (ca. 99-55 b.c.) is known primarily as the Roman author of the long didactic poem "De Rerum Natura" ("On the Nature of Things"). In it, he set out to explicate the universe, embracing and refuting ideas of the great Greek philosophers. Now available in paperback, this annotated scholarly edition of the Latin text of "De Rerum Natura "has long been hailed as one of the finest editions of this monumental work. It features an introduction to Lucretius's life and work by William Ellery Leonard, an introduction to and commentary on the poem by Stanley Barney Smith, the complete Latin text with detailed annotations, and an index of ancient sources.
作者简介
卢克莱修(Lucretius，Carus约前99～前55)古罗马诗人、哲学家。他继承古代原子学说，特别是阐述并发展了伊壁鸠鲁的哲学观点。认为物质的存在是永恒的，提出了“无物能由无中生，无物能归于无”的唯物主义观点。反对神创论，认为宇宙是无限的，有其自然发展的过程，人们只要懂得了自然现象发生的真正原因，宗教偏见便可消失。承认世界的可知性，认为感觉是事物流射出来的影像作用于人的感官的结果，是一切认识的基础和来源，驳斥了怀疑论。认为幸福在于摆脱对神和死亡的恐惧，得到精神的安宁和心情的恬静。著有哲学长诗《物性论》。
