Sobre el testimonio de la sensibilidad en el "De Rerum Natura de Tito Lucrecio Caro

Abstract

This paper examines the important role assigned to the concept of "sensitivity" in the Epicurean Doctrine, as subscribed by the Latin philosopher Lucretius (ca. 97-55 BC). The author attempts to show how the Atomic Theory, the Doctrine of Simulacra and Hedonism are articulated in the Epicurean conception of the Universe, starting from a particular notion of sensitivity which is based on the absolute reliance on the testimony of the senses
