Summary:
The volume unites the three aspects - poetry, philosophy, and science - found in Lucretius' 'De Rerum Natura'. With ten original essays and an analytical introduction, the volume aims not only to combine different approaches within single covers but to offer responses to the poem by experts from all three scholarly backgrounds.
