Written in elegant Latin verse, \u003cem\u003eThe Way Things Are\u003c\/em\u003e presents a sweeping account of the structure of the cosmos, the nature of matter, the formation of the world, and the origins of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poem explains the principles of atomism-the idea that all things are composed of indivisible particles moving through empty space-and argues that understanding the workings of nature frees humanity from superstition and fear. Lucretius examines phenomena ranging from the movements of celestial bodies to the processes of sensation and the nature of the human mind, presenting philosophy not merely as abstract speculation but as a guide to intellectual freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the centuries this work has stood as one of the most important surviving expressions of Epicurean philosophy. Its combination of scientific curiosity, poetic power, and philosophical argument continues to influence readers interested in the ancient roots of natural philosophy and the history of scientific thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 274\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377881223405,"sku":"9781515427582","price":51.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/wFtmlDDSsH9781515427582.webp?v=1785619502","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/the-way-things-are-lucretius-epicurean-philosophy-of-the-cosmos-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
