Welcome to Episode 31 of the Lucretius Today podcast. This week our only available panelists are Cassius and Martin, so rather than continue to a new section of text we'll go back and cover the topics from last week in more detail. The issue we spend the most time on is essentially the example of Polyaenus, which touches on the issue of the relationship between science and philosophy, and the question of whether a person can live a happy life without philosophy.
