मत
Lucretius set out the philosophy of Epicurus in six books of brilliant Latin hexameters, meant to sweeten the bitter medicine of doctrine like honey on the rim of a cup. Everything consists of atoms and void; nothing comes from nothing, and an occasional “swerve” of the atoms makes room for free will. The world was not made by the gods for humans, and the soul dies with the body – so fear of death and of divine punishment is groundless. Rediscovered in 1417 by the humanist Poggio Bracciolini, the poem influenced Renaissance thought, early modern science and the Enlightenment.
जीवन और संदर्भ
Almost nothing is known about the life of Titus Lucretius Carus, a Roman poet of the first century BCE. His only work, the didactic poem De rerum natura, was probably left unfinished at his death; Cicero mentions it in a letter of 54 BCE. A later, hostile tradition claimed that he was driven mad by a love potion and took his own life.
