- Summary
- The rediscovery in the fifteenth century of Lucretius's 'De Rerum Natura was a challenge to received ideas. This poem offered a vision of the creation of the universe, the origins and goals of human life and the formation of the state, all without reference to divine intervention. This collection of essays demonstrates the sophisticated ways in which some readers assimilated the poem to theories of natural law and even natural theology, while others were both attracted to Lucretius's subversiveness and dissociated themselves from him.
