En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the themes of mortality and the human experience of dying, Charles Segal offers a fresh interpretation of Lucretius's poem, highlighting its significance in Western thought about death. He argues that Lucretius addresses the fears surrounding the dying process and the concept of nothingness, which were overlooked by Epicurus. By incorporating Roman perspectives on the body and drawing from epic and tragic poetry, Segal reveals how Lucretius promotes spiritual tranquillity through a nuanced understanding of corporeality and mortality.
