Item description from seller

pp. 77-118. From the estate of the classical philologist Ernst Vogt, editor-in-chief of the journals *Rheinisches Museum für Philologie* (19591967) and *Gnomon* (19701999; co-editor from 1975). - A fine, clean copy. - From the text: Lucretius has always attracted scholars ;1 numerous aspects of his work have been discussed, many questions have been answered, yet more, however, have been asked. And a few problems still await a satisfactory solution. In the present paper an attempt is made to offer suggestions which might contribute to clarifying, if not solving, some of these problems ; for instance : i. Why does Lucretius, in presenting Epicurean philosophy, write poetryor, as a poet, turn to the philosophy of Epicurus who, it is said, was himself opposed to the use of poetry for philosophic purposes ? 2. Why does Lucretius, in this Epicurean work, begin with a hymn to Venus ? 3. Why does he then accumulate several seemingly heterogeneous sections like the proem at the beginning of Book 1 ? Were some paragraphs added later ? By himself or by an interpolator ? 4. What is the aim of this work ? And what principle does Lucretius follow to achieve his aim ? Wikipedia: Carl Joachim Classen (* 15. August 1928 in Hamburg; 29. September 2013 in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe) war ein deutscher Klassischer Philologe und ab 1966 Lehrstuhlinhaber.
