De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) is a first-century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus. Written in Latin, the poem transmits the philosophy of Epicureanism, which includes atomism and materialism. Lucretius argues against religious superstition and divine intervention, instead promoting an understanding of the natural world based on reason and observation.
This edition, edited by Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro, presents the six books of "De Rerum Natura" in their original Latin, offering a valuable resource for scholars and students of classical literature, philosophy, and the history of science. The poem remains a foundational text for understanding Epicurean thought and its influence on Western intellectual history.
