卢克莱修(约公元前九九——五五年)是古罗马最卓越的唯物主义哲学家和战斗的无神论者,但关于他的生平我们却一无所知,他遗留给我们的只有一部《物性论》。卢克莱修生活在罗马共和国接近灭亡的时代,但是,当时的哲学思想的发展却达到了极盛时期。唯物主义与唯心主义、无神论与宗教神秘主义展开了不调和的斗争。在当时,唯心主义哲学的主要代表是著名的拆衷主义者西塞罗和斯多葛派,而唯物主义哲学的主要代表就是卢克莱修和其他奴隶主民主派思想家。
Lucretius (circa 995-55 BC) was the most prominent materialistic philosopher and fighting atheist in ancient Rome, but we knew nothing about his life, and he left us with only A “theory of property.” Lucretius living in the Roman Republic approaching the era of demise, however, the development of the philosophy of that time has reached its heyday. Materialism and idealism, atheism and religious mysticism have begun an intransigent struggle. At that time, the main representative of idealist philosophy was the famous schemer Cicero and Stoicism, while the main representative of materialistic philosophy was Lucreto and other slave-democratic thinkers.
