Can nonphysical things effect physical things? Lucretius argued they cannot, which means the soul or mind would have to be physical since it can effect the body.
Plato argued that we should not fear death because our souls are immortal, and Lucretius argued that we should not dear death because our souls are mortal. Whom do you think made a better argument?
Lucretius believed that everything was just small particles interacting and void. If this is true, is there anyway a person could still be the same person after even the smallest change? Like the questions from the beginning of this section, do you think Lucretius would call someone a different person if he lost a toe or had a heart transplant?
