Titus Lucretius Carus Livres
Lucrèce était un poète et philosophe romain dont la seule œuvre connue est un poème philosophique épique explorant les principes et la philosophie de l'épicurisme. À travers son écriture, il a approfondi les complexités de l'univers et de l'existence humaine, offrant une perspective rationnelle sur le monde et cherchant à libérer les individus de la peur de la mort et des dieux. Sa prose est célébrée pour son langage élevé et ses arguments convaincants, invitant les lecteurs à une contemplation profonde de la nature de la réalité. Le chef-d'œuvre de Lucrèce constitue un témoignage intemporel de la quête de compréhension de notre place dans le cosmos.

A completely revised and considerably enlarged edition of this best-selling edition of Lucretius' account of why death does not matter.
Exploring the philosophy of Epicureanism, this collection features six essential works that delve into the pursuit of pleasure, the nature of the universe, and the contrast between Stoicism and Epicurean thought. Key texts include Epicurus's letters and doctrines, Cicero's examination of good and evil, Lucretius's insights on nature, and essays by Temple and Hicks that further illuminate Epicurean beliefs. Together, these writings provide a comprehensive understanding of Epicurean philosophy and its significance in the broader context of ancient thought.
Lucretius lived ca. 99 ca. 55 BCE, but the details of his career are unknown. In his didactic poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) he expounds Epicurean philosophy so as to dispel fear of the gods and death, and promote spiritual tranquility.
