Sinopsis

This is Volume 2 of Titi Lucreti Cari?s 'De Rerum Natura Libri Sex,' a foundational work of Epicurean philosophy and a masterpiece of Latin poetry. Written in the first century BCE, Lucretius?s poem explores the nature of the universe, the soul, and the human condition from a materialist perspective. This edition, edited by Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro, presents the original Latin text.
