談 盧克萊修的《物性論》 ‘On the Nature of the Universe’ By Lucretius

這本書,印象很深刻:2018年,漢清講堂討論尼采的《悲劇的誕生》:我在備課時讀《悲劇的誕生》的註解本(北京商務),其註解說,那半句話,出自盧克萊修的《物性論》,而我手頭有兩本英譯本,有一本,竟然找不到它呢!

#OnThisDay in 99 BCE it is believed that Lucretius, author of the Latin hexameter poem ‘On the Nature of the Universe’, is born. Almost nothing is known about him. His poem, addressed to Memmius, versifies and commends the philosophy of Epicurus, which, it is argued, can rid the world of the evils of conventional religion and the superstition which inevitably accompanies it. The world is composed of atoms (primordia), falling forever through the void (inane), and by their interaction producing all things. This atomic theory, originated in the 5th century bc by Leucippus and Democritus, is expounded with great energy and enthusiasm. Gods exist, but in blessed inactivity, not intervening in human life; civilization is the achievement of human effort.
"Nothing can be created out of nothing."
