Abstract:

This thesis argues that in the De Rerum Natura of Lucretius Shelley found an insight into the role of contingency in physical and historical process which allowed him to go beyond the limitations of an intellectual inheritance divided between post-Kantian Romanticism and the sceptical revolutionary Enlightenment. This insight entails radical implications for our understanding of the political role of the literary text. Shelley conceives society in evolutionary terms, making poetry a revolutionary clinamen (or mutation) in the iterative cycles of social reproduction. Models drawn from contempor

Aquesta tesi està dedicada a l'estudi de les explicacions dels fenòmens físics relacionats amb el pes, la calor i l'aigua, ofertes pel poema De rerum Natura de l'atomista epicuri llatí Lucreci (Titus Lucretius Carus, 99/93-55/50 a.C.) <br/><br/>En ella s'identifica el poema com un tractat complet i coherent de física epicúria. S'exposa un resum de l'atomisme grec, iniciat per Leucip i Demòcrit i desenvolupat per Epicur.

Abstract:

The thesis concerns the manuscript history of Lucretius’ <i>De Rerum Natura </i>between the work’s composition in the mid-first century BC and its rediscovery by Poggio in 1417/18. The thesis develops the arguments proving the descent of the Poggianus from O (s.IX), thereby rendering the Italian manuscripts mere <i>codices descripti</i>, and therefore focuses upon three related ninth century mss O, Q and S (= GVU). The thesis bolsters knowledge about the direct and indirect transmission of Lucretius’ <i>DRN</i> with a view to establishing a more secure basis for the editing and textual critici

Abstract:

The avowed purpose of Lucretius' poem is the ethical conversion of the reader, but ethics comes a very poor second to the physics in apparent importance within the text. This thesis argues that for Lucretius ethics is closely linked to aesthetics in the following ways: 1) ethics for Lucretius is a matter of seeing the truth about the world and thus relies on our senses and a'{aeT7OlS 2) the wise man is advised to watch the world aesthetically with all its sufferings rather than become involved in politics and love himself, the aesthetic appreciation of the spectacle being recommended as the et

Abstract:

This thesis aims to solve the apparent problem of the frequent repetitions in Lucretius' De Rerum Natura (DRN). Verbal repetitions of many different lengths pervade DRN, and are noted in the scholarship. Yet a consensus has not been reached as to their purpose and function, or even if they rightly belong in the text. Multi-linear repetitions are viewed as a temporary stop-gap which Lucretius would have removed or adjusted had he lived long enough to effect it; or as later interpolations; while shorter repetitions are underplayed or even ignored altogether. But repetitions and internal allusion

Sous son stylet, l'infini devient plus réel, plus tangible et évident, plus vaste et intense, plus enthousiasmant et grandiose. La poésie n'est pas seulement un agrément. Elle contribue à la maîtr

Abstract:

My thesis is a study of lines 635-920 of DRNI, Lucretius' refutation of the theories about the fundamental nature of matter elaborated by Heraclitus, Empedocles, Anaxagoras and other unnamed thinkers. My main concern is establishing what source Lucretius used in these lines and how he used it. In chapter 1 I give my reasons for believing that Lucretius, in DRN I635-920, was following an Epicurean source, which in turn derived its information from Theophrastean doxography. In chapter 21 argue that books XIV and XV of the IIO were not Lucretius' source-text for Lucretius' refutation of earlier t

Abstract:

O epicurismo apresentou teorias sobre a física que constituíam, em boa parte, uma continuidade do pensamento materialista antigo, ainda assim, há certamente muitos elementos originais em seu pensamento para destacá-lo e torná-lo em um sistema reconhecido por sua própria importância. Como se desenvolveu em uma filosofia de amplo alcance, e por isso mesmo muito visada por adversários, além dos conteúdos de sua física, ética e canônica, disciplinas principais de seu pensamento, Epicuro e os membros de sua escola viam-se compelidos a opinar em assuntos que transcendiam esse grupo de investigações.

Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura has as one of its main goals the extermination of traditional conceptions of the gods, but gods pervade the poem in a variety of roles, beginning with the very first line, invoking Venus.

We begin with an exploration of the role of the poetic medium in this situation, followed by a close examination of the entire proem. Lucretius’ negative views a

Abstract:

archives@tulane.edu<br>This study focuses on the ways in which Lucretius instructs us to read his philosophic poem, De rerum natura. Taking our bearings from a little-studied digression in the poem on the types of readers for whom Lucretius writes, we find many passages in which an ostensibly materialist argument gives way to reveal metaphoric applications of what is traditionally taken to be Epicurean theory. Proceeding this way, we hope to establish the possibility that Lucretius can be read as putting Epicureanism to his own use, not just as a poet in search of a topic, but as a philosopher
