Description:
Princeton University Press, Princeton, n.d.(>1990). XII,279p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. Nice copy. ?The Epicurean arguments against the fear of death deployed by Lucretius are often granted a pellucid force in their own rationalistic terms, but felt to be an inadequate ?consolation mortis? in the face of the emotional reality of the fear of extinction. Segal shows that anxieties about the dissolution of the body and the dissipation of the self into the infinite nothingness of death are in fact obsessively confronted in the ?De rerun natura?, but mostly at levels other than that of the discursive argumentation itself. Pervasive is the old dichotomie between philosophy and poetry, but in the now orthodox version whereby the poet?s powers of empathy and imagistic association are working with rather than against the philosophical message.

Description:
Princeton University Press. Very Good+ in Near Fine dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691068267 . Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Else book is fine. DJ has very faint shelfwear. ; In a fresh interpretation of Lucretius's On the Nature of Things, Charles Segal reveals this great poetical account of Epicurean philosophy as an important and profound document for the history of Western attitudes toward death. He shows that this poem, aimed at promoting spiritual tranquillity, confronts two anxieties about death not addressed in Epicurus's abstract treatment--the fear of the process of dying and the fear of nothingness. Lucretius, Segal argues, deals more specifically with the body in dying because he draws on the Roman concern with corporeality as well as on the rich traditions of epic and tragic poetry on mortality. ; Princeton Legacy Library; 291 pages .
