Resumen
En el proemio del libro segundo de De rerum natura (DRN, II.1-61), Lucrecio nos ofrece imágenes visualmente muy poderosas para demostrarnos que solamente la vera ratio, es decir, la doctrina epicúrea, puede liberarnos del dolor y los temores irracionales que nos impiden lograr la felicidad. Estas imágenes contienen varios verbos del campo semántico de la visión: spectare, cernere, tueri, despicere y videre. En este trabajo, analizaremos el significado específico de estos verbos, sus contextos de uso en el corpus delimitado y por último extraeremos algunas consideraciones acerca de su importancia, en tanto verbos relacionados con los sentidos (un criterio de verdad en la gnoseología epicúrea), en este pasaje de gran belleza poética y, a la vez, de gran relevancia para el planteo general del poema.
Abstract: In the prologue of De rerum natura Book 2, (DRN, II.1-61), Lucretius shows us very visually powerful images to demonstrate to us that only the vera ratio, i. e., Epicurean doctrine, can release us from pain and irrational fears that prevent us from attaining happiness. These images are shaped with several verbs that belong to the semantic field of vision: spectare, cernere, tueri, despicere and videre. In this article, we will analyze the specific meaning of these verbs, their contexts in the delimitated corpus and finally we will present some considerations about their relevance in this passage of incredible poetic beauty and of high significance in the poem as a whole, since they are verbs related to the senses, criteria of knowledge in Epicurean gnoseology.
