Lucretius And His Influence is a book written by George Depue Hadzsits that explores the life and works of the Roman philosopher and poet, Lucretius. The book delves into Lucretius' most famous work, De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), which is a poem that explores the nature of the universe, the gods, and the human soul. Hadzsits examines Lucretius' ideas and beliefs, such as his belief in the atomic theory of matter and his rejection of the existence of an afterlife.The book also explores the influence that Lucretius had on later philosophers and thinkers, including the Renaissance humanists and the Enlightenment philosophers. Hadzsits discusses how Lucretius' ideas were rediscovered and reinterpreted during these periods, and how they influenced the development of modern science and philosophy.Overall, Lucretius And His Influence is a comprehensive study of the life and works of Lucretius, as well as his impact on Western thought and culture. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, science, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
