- Welcome and news / requests for new topics. We’ll continue to deal with individual topics as they occur. Just message me and we will set up an agenda each week that allows for new topics.
- Please help us stay on topic. Don’t be afraid to comment or ask questions about the implication of any section we are covering, but please remember that there are controversies outside the scope of our project that we don’t have time to cover.
- Every session let’s try to cover questions like:
- What is the context of this section?
- Why included at this point in the presentation?
- What are the major points Lucretius is making?
- What are the implications of these points?
- Notes on New Topics / Announcements

- This week we will continue with Lucretius Book 1:645.
