A crisp, modern reading of an ancient science: how perception, light, and matter shape our world—and how fear of death was once explored in vivid verse.

This edition presents Lucretius’s exploration of how the senses and the body interact with the natural world. It delves into how light, air, and motion influence what we see, and why objects can appear differently when viewed from a distance or through shifting air. It also gathers scenes that confront illness, mortality, and the human impulse to understand life through natural causes.

How the senses are described to work with light, air, and motion
Why objects and landscapes sometimes seem other than they are, and how perception can be explained
Scenes that examine fear, illness, and death through a natural, non-supernatural lens
A poetic, accessible presentation of ancient natural philosophy and its ideas

Ideal for readers curious about ancient science, philosophy, and the roots of how we explain the world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a philosophical overview of the natural world as understood in ancient times. The author, a Roman philosopher writing in the 1st century BCE, puts forward the theory that all matter is made up of indestructible atoms which he terms 'seeds'. He argues that these atoms are the building blocks of all substances and that by combining in different ways they can create the vast array of objects and phenomena that we see around us. The book provides a fascinating insight into the scientific thought of the ancient world and offers a valuable historical perspective on the development of modern science. The author's ideas about atoms would later be taken up and expanded upon by other philosophers and scientists, and they ultimately laid the foundation for our current understanding of the physical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330722022_0
