This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and poet Lucretius' poem On The Nature of Things (De rerum natura), book 4, which presents an Epicurean viewpoint on a number of matters.

This episode focuses specifically on his discussion about the mortality of the mind and the vital spirit, which are both composed of matter, specifically of atoms, and which perish with the body
