Epicurus solved all philosophical problems with his combination of atomism and hedonism. Or so assumed the Roman poet Lucretius. His epic On the Nature of Things applies Epicurus’s doctrine to cure the fear of death. Since you are a temporary construction of atoms, your permanent annihilation is inevitable.

In addition, he thought that one single generative and organic principle unites atomistic physics and the combinatory production of meaning. Thanks to the interplay between its “outer metric” (the distribution of dactylic ...

The physical theories of Democritus were and are profoundly interesting as an attempt to answer some of the great questions of natural science—how to account for growth and change, for the fact that earth turns into corn, corn into men, and men again into earth.
