Abstract

Le Centre de Recherche Philologique de l’Université de Lille III publie ici, dans un premier cahier, quelques etudes consacrées a l’histoire de l’epicurisme, qui est l’objet d’une de ses activités principales. Les travaux de ses membres ont en commun d’insister sur l’examen approfondi de la lettre du texte, où nous voyons la condition d’un renouvellement de la compréhension. La critique de la tradition interprétative fait partie de ce reexamen, dont le lieu privilégié se trouve dans des textes, qui, se situant eux-mêmes dans une continuité remarquable, comme le poeme de Lucrèce et le mur d ’Oenoanda, imposent une réflexion sur les modes de l’actualisation dans le cadre d’une orthodoxie essentielle. Nous sommes heureux de publier en meme temps les travaux d’hotes du Centre, et en particulier les demieres découvertes de Martin F. Smith a Oenoanda, qui manquent une nouvelle etape de la connaissance de l’inscription de Diogene. David Sedley, qui a présenté a Lille, dans une sérié de séminaires, les problèmes poses par l ’interpretation des papyrus du Péri Phuseôs d’Épicure, reprend ici l’analyse de quelques parties de la Vie de Diogene Laerce, complétant heureusement le commentaire de ce texte par André Laks. P.H. Schrijvers explique, a propos d’un chapitre de la physiologie, de quelle manière doit être reprise, selon lui. la question des « sources » de Lucrèce, considérées comme le materiel d’une culture scientifique globale. Diskin Oay, qui entretient avec le Centre des relations suivies et déjà anciennes, communique, sur ce sujet, les éléments d’une réflexion de portée générale.

Abstract

After its rediscovery in 1417, Lucretius's Epicurean didactic poem De Rerum Natura threatened to supply radicals and atheists with the one weapon unbelief had lacked in the Middle Ages: good answers. Scholars could now challenge Christian patterns of thought by employing the theory of atomistic physics, a sophisticated system that explained natural phenomena without appeal to divine participation, and argued powerfully against the immortality of the soul, the afterlife, and a creator God. Ada Palmer explores how Renaissance readers, such as Machiavelli, Pomponio Leto, and Montaigne, actually ingested and disseminated Lucretius, and the ways in which this process of reading transformed modern thought. She uncovers humanist methods for reconciling Christian and pagan philosophy, and shows how ideas of emergent order and natural selection, so critical to our current thinking, became embedded in Europe's intellectual landscape before the seventeenth century. This heterodoxy circulated in the premodern world, not on the conspicuous stage of heresy trials and public debates, but in the classrooms, libraries, studies, and bookshops where quiet scholars met the ideas that would soon transform the world. Renaissance readers-poets and philologists rather than scientists-were moved by their love of classical literature to rescue Lucretius and his atomism, thereby injecting his theories back into scientific discourse. Palmer employs a new quantitative method for analyzing marginalia in manuscripts and printed books, exposing how changes in scholarly reading practices over the course of the sixteenth century gradually expanded Europe's receptivity to radical science, setting the stage for the scientific revolution.

Abstract

The most original and shocking interpretation of Lucretius in the last 40 yearsA new materialist, quantum and feminist interpretation of LucretiusArgues the original and provocative thesis that Lucretius was not an atomist but rather the first philosopher of motionThe most profound revision of how we read Lucretius since Michel Serres’ The Birth of Physics (1977)Luretius II launch offerFind out where it all started: we're offering a free ebook of Lucretius I when you buy a copy of Lucretius II. Just add a copy of Lucretius II (paperback, hardback or ebook) and a Lucretius I ebook to your basket, and enter the code Lucretius2 when you check out.Visit the webpage for Lucretius IIThomas Nail argues convincingly and systematically that Lucretius was not an atomist, but a thinker of kinetic flux. In doing so, he completely overthrows the interpretive foundations of modern scientific materialism, whose philosophical origins lie in the atomic reading of Lucretius’ immensely influential book De Rerum Natura.This means that Lucretius was not the revolutionary harbinger of modern science as Greenblatt and others have argued; he was its greatest victim. Nail re-reads De Rerum Natura to offer us a new Lucretius – a Lucretius for today."

Abstract

This is the first detailed analysis of the fate of Lucretius' De rerum natura from its composition in the 50s BC to the creation of our earliest extant manuscripts during the Carolingian Age. Close investigation of the knowledge of Lucretius' poem among writers throughout the Roman and medieval world allows fresh insight into the work's readership and reception, and a clear assessment of the indirect tradition's value for editing the poem. The first extended analysis of the 170+ subject headings (capitula) that intersperse the text reveals the close engagement of its Roman readers. A fresh inspection and assignation of marginal hands in the poem's most important manuscript (the Oblongus) provides new evidence about the work of Carolingian correctors and offers the basis for a new Lucretian stemma codicum. Further clarification of the interrelationship of Lucretius' Renaissance manuscripts gives additional evidence of the poem's reception and circulation in fifteenth-century Italy.
