Lucretius' Criticism of the Early Greek Philosophers

  • TITLU în română: Critica lui Lucreţiu la adresa filosofilor greci timpurii
  • Subiect: Lucretius intended to give a picture true to life of Heraclitus and Empedocles, the two outstanding Greek philosophers whose teachings cannot be understood unless their personal background is known. Lucretius masterfully drew this background with the aid of style, language and sound, by the special means used by each of them. Anaxagoras' philosophy can be understood and appraised without knowing details of his personality. Therefore Heraclitus, the aggressive, lone, obscure philosopher is harshly and aggressively criticized, the enthusiastic poet-philosopher Empedocles is praised enthusiastically and poetically, and Anaxagoras is dealt with in a matter-of-fact way.
