Lucretius, On The Nature Of Things - Elements Of Mind And Spirit - Sadler's Lectures

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 the discussion of what mind (animus) and spirit (anima) are composed of, according to Lucretius. This turns out to be four "elements", namely wind (aura, ventus), heat (vapor, color), air (aër), and a nameless fourth element responsible for sentience.
