Lucretius' poem, for which Epicurean philosophy provided the
inspiration, attempts to explain the nature of the universe and its
processes with the object of freeing mankind from religious fears.
The third book not only seeks to demonstrate that, since the soul
is mortal, there can be no after-life, but also aims to reconcile
the reader to the prospect of the end of his consciousness. This
edition incorporates a new text and prose translation and is
designed to set the book in the context of the whole poem and of
the Epicurean philosophical system, to explain and elucidate its
argument, and at the same time to analyse some of the literary and
artistic features which contribute to Lucretius' poetic achievement
and stature. Latin text with facing page translation.
