Lucretius on Imagination and Mental Projection

David Sedley

Abstrak

Lucretius sometimes speaks of the mind ‘projecting’ itself, echoing the Epicurean Greek technical term epibolē. The way in which he and other first-century BCE Epicureans use this concept, however, elevates it beyond anything we can find in Epicurus, and applies it in particular to the kind of superhuman intellectual leap of which the school’s founder was himself considered the master. This has implications for Lucretius’ relation to contemporary Epicureanism.
