C’est une grande erreur de croire que les vérités scientifiques diffèrent essen- tiellement des vérités vulgaires. Elles n’en diffèrent que par l’étendue et la précision. Au point de vue pratique, c’est là une différence considérable. Mais il ne faut pas oublier que l’observation du savant s’arrête à l’apparence et au phénomène, sans jamais povoir pénétrer la substance ni rien savoir de la véri- table nature des choses. It is a great mistake to believe that scientific truths are fundamentally different from the truths of every day. They are not, except for their extension and precision. From the point of view of practice, this is an important difference. But we must not forget that the observation of savant stops at the level of appearances and phenomena, without ever being able to penetrate the substance or know anything of the true nature of things.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The overall rhetorical feel of De rerum natura continues to impress read- ers and scholars for more than one hundred years. Already J.W. von Goethe described Lucretius as a poet-orator (ein dichterischer Redner), and in his Marburg dissertation of 1881, K.H.J. Spangenberg wrote: “all rhetorical procedures that we find in the poets of later times already exist in Lucretius” (omnes artes rhetoricae, quas apud posterioris temporis poetas inuenimus, iam apud Lucretium extant). But this particular quality of Lu- cretius’ masterpiece is commonly perceived with unease. The majority of modern interpreters consider the rhetorical character of the poem to be one of its problematic features, comparable to Lucretius’ heretic treatment of Epicurean physics in the form of an epic poem. Alleged incompatibility of Epicurus’ philosophy with rhetoric has led modern scholars to isolate rhetorical elements in the poem and regard them as non-Epicurean, accessory features. This book approaches the question from a different point of view, based on a wider understanding of the term rhetoric. Its core consists of a fresh analysis of the process of the composition of De rerum natura intended to show that, instead of inject- ing rhetorical strategies from non-Epicurean sources, Lucretius in fact intensified rhetorical elements already present in the work of Epicurus, systematically returning them to their ancestral forms found in the lan- guage of epic poetry. An earlier version of the book was submitted as a part of the require- ment for the doctoral degree of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign in October 2006. For the core of this book I owe lasting debt of gratitude to my advisor, Howard Jacobson, and to my readers, William M. Calder III, Thomas M. Conley, Kirk R. Sanders, and Danuta R. Shanzer. Their comments and suggestions have improved the initial drafts of the text to a great extent. My gratitude to Marcus Heckenkamp is immense: his most generous help and our invaluable discussions have had great influence on the outcome of this project. Another close friend, Philip A. Wattles, has carefully read the final version of the manuscript and improved the present text in a countless number of places. Last but 2008032. Markovic. 00_Prelims.

Proef 4. 7-5-2008:11.24, page 1. introduction FROM EPICURUS TO LUCRETIUS One of the passages on which recent Lucretian scholarship has shed much light is the ριστεα of Epicurus in Book One of De rerum natura.1 The passage fashions Epicurus as an epic hero who engages religion in a Homeric duel on behalf of all humanity. His battle has a successful outcome—the reversal of the initial situation, in which human life was lying on the ground, oppressed by religion. Humana ante oculos foede cum uita iaceret in terris oppressa graui sub religione, quae caput a caeli regionibus ostendebat horribili super aspectu mortalibus instans, primum Graius homo mortalis tollere contra est oculos ausus primusque

Ames, Chairperson Tamara Albertini Chung-ying Cheng James E. Tiles David R. McCraw © Copyright 2004 by John Trowbridge iii Dedicated to my wife, Jill iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In completing this research, I would like to express my appreciation first and foremost to my wife, Jill, and our three children, James, Holly, and Henry for their support during this process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my entire dissertation committee for their insight and understanding ofthe topics at hand. Studying under Roger Ames has been a transformative experience. In particular, his commitment to taking the Chinese tradition on its own terms and avoiding the tendency among Western interpreters to overwrite traditional Chinese thought with the preoccupations ofWestern philosophy has enabled me to broaden my conception ofphilosophy itself. Roger's seminars on Confucianism and Daoism, and especially a seminar on writing a philosophical translation ofthe Zhongyong r:pJm (Achieving Equilibrium in the Everyday), have greatly influenced my own initial attempts to translate and interpret the seminal philosophical texts ofancient China. Tamara Albertini's expertise in ancient Greek philosophy was indispensable to this project, and a seminar I audited with her, comparing early Greek and ancient Chinese philosophy, was part ofthe inspiration for my choice ofresearch topic. I particularly valued the opportunity to study Daoism and the Yijing ~*~ with Chung-ying Cheng g\Gr:p~ and benefited greatly from his theory ofonto-cosmology as a means of understanding classical Chinese philosophy.

  • Living with Lucretius
    chapter one Living with Lucretius JONATHAN KRAMNICK In 1682, Thomas Creech published the fi rst complete translation of Lucretius’s On the Nature of Things into English. Greeted with some fan- fare on its appearance, Creech’s edition stood at the crest of a Lucretius revival of several decades in the making, including complete or partial translations by Lucy Hutchinson, John Evelyn, and John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester.1 One common explanation for this renewed interest in the poem has been that its cosmology was so amenable to the new cultures of science and observation. The universe is composed only of atoms and void; all forms of life rise from a swarming mass of particles in motion. So Lucretius argued and so the seventeenth century discovered, even as it resisted the lengths to which Lucretius was prepared to go in denying an immaterial soul and an afterlife of reward or punishment. My point in this essay is not to challenge this notion of the Lucretius revival so much as to focus on some questions of consciousness and agency that concern a world reducible to atoms. Accepting that the world is made only of matter, how can matter think? And, assuming that matter can think, what kind of agents and types of action can matter create? These questions turn out to be exceptionally hard to answer and touch on issues of real sensitivity around life, death, and human agency. According to Lucretius, atoms are indivisible and thus imper- ishable. They build various forms of life for as long as they remain in steady combinations and scatter to the void at the moment of death.

Title: The Liar Paradox as a Reductio ad Absurdum Author: Menashe Schwed Response to this paper by: Lawrence Powers (c)2000 Menashe Schwed 1. Introduction The paper discusses two seemingly separated topics: the origin and function of the Liar Paradox in ancient Greek philosophy and the Reduction ad absurdum mode of argumentation. Its goal is to show how the two topics fit together and why they are closely connected. The accepted tradition is that Eubulides of Miletos was the first to formulate the Liar Paradox correctly and that the paradox was part of the philosophical discussion of the Megarian School. Which version of the paradox was formulated by Eubulides is unknown, but according to some hints given by Aristotle and an incorrect version given by Cicero1, the version was probably as follows: The paradox is created from the Liar sentence ‘I am lying’.

AI ways, it will be male. This is not to say that females do not appear on the epic stage; they may even appear in the guise of heroic warrior-there is Camilla, there is Atalanta.2 But each such figure is anomalous; the "real" subject of epic is how to be a man and, beyond that, how to be a community of men-an army, a polis, a republic, an empire. Typically, such epics will address questions ofautonomy and social comrade­ ship, appetite and sublimation, intellection and action. Whether via the portrayal of Achilles sulking in his tent, Aeneas setting sail from Carthage and Dido, Tydeus single-handedly slaughtering an ambush party of fifty men, or even Epicurus laying bare the secrets of nature, epic provides narrative models for male life in the world.
