• Titus Lucretius Carus: "Nature is not unique to the visible world; we must have faith that in other regions of space there exist other earths, inhabited by other peoples and other animals."

• Giordano Bruno: "Innumerable suns exist; innumerable earths revolve about these suns in a manner similar to the way the seven planets revolve around our sun. Living beings inhabit these worlds."

#Epicurus, the precursor to #Lucretius in the #materialist #philosophical tradition, believed that we need knowledge only because without it we are unhappy. I find it wonderful that following one's curiosity to bring oneself #joy is fundamental to the roots of the Western philosophical tradition that led to #science.

"In practice the text of #Lucretius rests upon two Leiden manuscripts [...] The older and better is O (Voss. Lat. F. 30)Offsite Link. It was written not long after 800 in the Palace School of Charlemagne. A contemporary corrector, using a distinctive insular hand, emended the text and in places filled up lacunae left by the orignal scribe. This hand has been recognized as that of Dungal" https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=3217
