Titi Lucretii Cari De Rerum Natura Libros Sex [Latin]

By Tito Lucrecio Caro and Lucretius

Titi Lucretii Cari De Rerum Natura Libros Sex is a foundational work of Latin literature and a cornerstone of Epicurean philosophy. Written by the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus, this epic poem, commonly known as De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), explores the principles of Epicureanism through a poetic and scientific lens. Lucretius elucidates the nature of the universe, the mortality of the soul, and the pursuit of tranquility through understanding the physical world.

Composed in dactylic hexameter, the poem delves into atomism, cosmology, and ethics, offering a comprehensive view of Epicurean thought. Lucretius's work is not only a philosophical treatise but also a remarkable literary achievement, celebrated for its vivid imagery and powerful argumentation. This edition offers readers access to the original Latin text, inviting them to engage directly with Lucretius's profound insights into the human condition and the natural world.
