Human suffering, the fear of death, war, poverty, ecological
destruction and social inequality: almost 2,000 ago Lucretius
proposed an ethics of motion as simple and stunning solution to
these ethical problems. Thomas Nail argues that Lucretius was the
first to locate the core of all these ethical ills in our obsession
with stasis, our fear of movement and our hatred of matter. Instead
of trying to transcend nature with our minds, escape it with our
immortal souls and dominate it with our technologies, Lucretius was
perhaps the first in the Western tradition to forcefully argue for
a completely materialist, immanent and naturalistic ethics based on
moving well with and as nature. If we want to survive and live well
on this planet, Lucretius taught us, our best chance is not to
struggle against nature but to embrace it and facilitate its
movement.
