Abstract

Both in antiquity and ever since the Renaissance Lucretius' De Rerum Natura has been admired - and condemned - for its startling poetry, its evangelical faith in materialist causation, and its seductive advocacy of the Epicurean good life. Approaches to Lucretius assembles an international team of classicists and philosophers to take stock of a range of critical approaches to which this influential poem has given rise and which in turn have shaped its interpretation, including textual criticism, the text's strategies for engaging the reader with its author and his message, the 'atomology' that posits a correlation of the letters of the poem with the atoms of the universe, the literary and philosophical intertexts that mediate the poem, and the political and ideological questions that it raises. Thirteen essays take up a variety of positions within these traditions of interpretation, innovating within them and advancing beyond them in new directions.

Abstract

L'épicurisme et son illustration romaine sous la plume poétique de Lucrèce sont des objets d'étude qui connaissent depuis quelques années un regain d'intérêt. Mais si Lucrèce est avant tout étudié pour sa philosophie et pour le rôle imparti à la forme poétique, l'étude de la tradition de son poème reste encore embryonnaire. Dans un tel contexte, ce volume, qui réunit les études de spécialistes de philosophie antique, mais aussi d'historiens des sciences ou de la littérature, s'est donné pour objet d'interroger les conditions de possibilité d'une nouvelle vie pour le De rerum natura au seuil de la modernité. Les contributions réunies mettent en évidence le caractère décisif du vecteur philologique dans la redistribution de la pensée lucrétienne, les éditeurs se positionnant de manière équivoque en récusant une pensée inconciliable avec le cadre culturel chrétien, tout en soulignant et en explicitant les thèses les plus scandaleuses du matérialisme. Cette "promotion distanciée" de l'épicurisme romain, faite de fascination et d'hostilité, entraîne de nombreux phénomènes insoupçonnés : comment Lucrèce trouve une nouvelle dignité dans des querelles poétiques, voire linguistiques ; comment le christianisme, qui semble le condamner définitivement, peut trouver en son sein aussi bien des concepts qu'une religiosité capables d'être articulés avec la Révélation divine ; combien les facteurs historiques peuvent déterminer l'interprétation et le degré de légitimité de l'anthropologie lucrétienne ; combien la fragmentation du poème en passages fameux peut donner lieu à des hybridations parfaitement inattendues. Parfois retourné contre lui-même, Lucrèce sert aussi à consolider les pensées qui lui sont étrangères, avec lesquelles il aurait pu paraître inconciliable. Lucrèce devient ainsi un modèle influent, mais hors de ses propres murs, par dérivation accidentelle, en vertu de la faculté de son texte à proposer des réponses ou des prolongements aux systèmes privilégiés par la pensée de la Renaissance. Transmise le plus souvent au prix de mutilations et de métamorphoses importantes, la renaissance de Lucrèce se prolonge au hasard du clinamen des idées, survivant hors de ses limites pour servir une nouvelle représentation de la Nature, peut-être telle qu'il ne l'a jamais comprise.

Abstract

Explores how Deleuze's thought was shaped by Lucretian atomism - a formative but often-ignored influence from ancient philosophy.

More than any other 20th-century philosopher, Deleuze considers himself an apprentice to the history of philosophy. But scholarship has ignored one of the more formative influences on Deleuze: Lucretian atomism. Deleuze's encounter with Lucretius sparked a way of thinking that resonates throughout all his writings: from immanent ontology to affirmative ethics, from dynamic materialism to the generation of thought itself. Filling a significant gap in Deleuze Studies, Ryan J. Johnson tells the story of the Deleuze-Lucretius encounter that begins and ends with a powerful claim: Lucretian atomism produced Deleuzianism.

Abstract

The title of this book translates one of the many ways in which Lucretius names the basic matter from which the world is made in De rerum natura. In Lucretius, and in the strain of thought followed in this study, matter is always in motion, always differing from itself and yet always also made of the same stuff. From the pious Lucy Hutchinson’s all but complete translation of the Roman epic poem to Margaret Cavendish’s repudiation of atomism (but not of its fundamental problematic of sameness and difference), a central concern of this book ishow a thoroughgoing materialism can be read alongside other strains in the thought of the early modern period, particularly Christianity.A chapter moves from Milton’s monism to his angels and their insistent corporeality. Milton’s angels have sex, and, throughout, this study emphasizes the consequences for thinking about sexuality offered by Lucretian materialism. Sameness of matter is not simply a question of same-sex sex, and the relations of atoms in Cavendish and Hutchinson are replicated in the terms in which they imagine marriages of partners who are also their doubles. Likewise, Spenser’s knights in the 1590 Faerie Queene pursue the virtues of Holiness, Temperance, and Chastity in quests that take the reader on a path of askesis of the kind that Lucretiusrecommends and that Foucault studied in the final volumes of his history of sexuality.Although English literature is the book’s main concern, it first contemplates relations between Lucretian matter and Pauline flesh by way of Tintoretto’s painting The Conversion of St. Paul. Theoretical issues raised in the work of Agamben and Badiou, among others, lead to a chapter that takes up the role that Lucretius has played in theory, from Bergson and Marx to Foucault and Deleuze.This study should be of concern to students of religion, philosophy, gender, and sexuality, especially as they impinge on questions of representation.
