Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Section IV offers a wide collection of new and original papers on Lucretius’ fortunes in the period from Machiavelli up to Victorian times. Section V explores little known aspects of the iconographical and biographical motifs related to the De rerum natura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lucretius, Epicurean and Poet It was impossible either to discuss in the tanner volume all the Epicurean doctrines referred to by Lucretius, or to give all the evidence for the conclusions I have stated, these being based upon texts some of which are very intricate and difficult. In certain cases a choice had to be made as to points to be left over to the Appendix. Perhaps one or two of these might have been treated more appropriately in the book itself, if space had allowed. I am deeply conscious of the extreme difficulty of the subject, and have gratefully to acknowledge the value of several criticisms from which I hope the book may one day profit.

Book On the Nature of Things by Lucretius

Download or read book On the Nature of Things by Lucretius written by Lucretius and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Nature of Things is a first-century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius (c. 99 BC - c. 55 BC) with the goal of explaining Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience. The poem, written in some 7,400 dactylic hexameters, is divided into six untitled books, and explores Epicurean physics through poetic language and metaphors. Namely, Lucretius explores the principles of atomism; the nature of the mind and soul; explanations of sensation and thought; the development of the world and its phenomena; and explains a variety of celestial and terrestrial phenomena. The universe described in the poem operates according to these physical principles, guided by fortuna ("chance"), and not the divine intervention of the traditional Roman deities. A True Classic for all Lovers of Philosophical Works!

Book Marx  s Ecology

  • Author : John Bellamy Foster
  • Publisher : NYU Press

  • ISBN : 1583670114
  • Pages : 325 pages

Download or read book Marx s Ecology written by John Bellamy Foster and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress requires the conquest of nature. Or does it? This startling new account overturns conventional interpretations of Marx and in the process outlines a more rational approach to the current environmental crisis. Marx, it is often assumed, cared only about industrial growth and the development of economic forces. John Bellamy Foster examines Marx's neglected writings on capitalist agriculture and soil ecology, philosophical naturalism, and evolutionary theory. He shows that Marx, known as a powerful critic of capitalist society, was also deeply concerned with the changing human relationship to nature. Marx's Ecology covers many other thinkers, including Epicurus, Charles Darwin, Thomas Malthus, Ludwig Feuerbach, P. J. Proudhon, and William Paley. By reconstructing a materialist conception of nature and society, Marx's Ecology challenges the spiritualism prevalent in the modern Green movement, pointing toward a method that offers more lasting and sustainable solutions to the ecological crisis.

Book The Structure of Argument

Download or read book The Structure of Argument written by Annette T. Rottenberg and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Structure of Argument covers critical thinking, reading, writing, and research. Concise but thorough, it includes questions, exercises, writing assignments, and a full semester’s worth of readings—everything students need in an affordable, compact format. Presenting Aristotelian and Rogerian as well as Toulmin argument, The Structure of Argument has been totally revised, with more than three-quarters of the readings new (including many multimodal selections available online at no extra charge), new coverage of multimodal argument, expanded treatment of key rhetorical concepts, a fresh new design, and additional support for research. Its emphasis on Toulmin argument makes Structure highly teachable, since the approach fits with the goals of the composition course.
