More about the book
Exploring sexuality and gender in De rerum natura, this study critiques the traditional notions of Roman masculinity, portraying them as mere fictions. It argues that Lucretius's work provides a profound understanding of the universe that challenges these constructs. Additionally, it presents an Epicurean vision of masculinity that has the potential to rejuvenate the Republic, offering a fresh perspective on ancient philosophical thought and its implications for gender dynamics.
