T. Lucreti Cari, De Rerum Natura Libri Sex (Classic Reprint)
Author: Francis W. Kelsey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781331991144
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Excerpt from T. Lucreti Cari, De Rerum Natura Libri Sex Most students, and general readers as well, prefer a text in either prose or poetry free from all marks not needful for purposes of reference. Any one interested in the critical study of Lucretius will of course make use of Munro's edition and Lachmann's masterly work. The Introduction was prepared with the design of offering some suggestions regarding Lucretius' personality, his mission in philosophy, and his rank as a poet. It is much compressed. The Notes have likewise been condensed; but even as they stand they may in places seem too full. For it has been the editor's aim not simply to explain the more difficult word-forms and constructions, but also to bring out the philosophic import of the passages annotated in the light of both ancient and modern thought. Most classical writings have an interest for us mainly because of the general human element in them, because they crystallize in artistic form something that appeals to thinking men of all times and of all nations. But Lucretius stands in close relation with the life of the present. His work is not lacking in the power and finish that mark the true poet, - one the duration of whose fame is to be measured not by decades, but by centuries.

Lucretius on Creation and Evolution
Author: Gordon Lindsay Campbell
Publisher: Oxford Classical Monographs
ISBN: 9780199263967
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Lucretius' account of the origin of life, the origin of species, and human prehistory is the longest and most detailed account extant from the ancient world. It gives an anti-teleological mechanistic theory of zoogony and the origin of species that does away with the need for any divine aidor design in the process, and accordingly it has been seen as a forerunner of Darwin's theory of evolution. This commentary locates Lucretius in both the ancient and modern contexts, and treats Lucretius' ideas as very much alive rather than as historical concepts. The recent revival of creationismmakes this study particularly relevant to contemporary debate, and indeed, many of the central questions posed by creationists are those Lucretius attempts to answer.
