Spin-note Why we need not be afraid.

Season 1 · Episode 13

Friday, April 29, 2022 • Duration 48:48

In this episode John and Richard discuss a text which was referred to in an earlier podcast. 'De Rerum Natura' - 'On the Nature of Things'. On of the most remarkable books ever written, On the Nature of Things' by the Roman author Lucretius was an influence on many of the greatest thinkers and artists in the last 2000 years. It was written in the first century BCE by a wealthy Roman as a means of explaining the philosophy of Epicurus to his fellow Romans and in poetic form it contains ideas which are startlingly modern and as exciting to a modern reader as they were to his contemporaries. In this episode I explain my admiration for this book to Richard.
