Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Lucretius

Curated by ACT

As one of the primary spokesmen for the Epicurean philosophy, Lucretius (99-55 BCE) wrote a philosophical epic "De Rerum Naturum," in which the Epicurean belief in the atomic nature of matter is presented. Look for the section entitled "Physics," to read about their beliefs on this matter. This site also includes a large volume of information about the life and times of Lucretius.
