Human beings’ view on the external world is truthfully built on their sense data. The limitless universe is a purposeless ongoing cosmic event consisting of matter and void. Matter is composed of a finite number of undying atoms, the swerve motion of which is regarded by Lucretius as the basis for the existence of free will. Man, whose soul will disintegrate with the body at death, can achieve happiness through self denial and moral discipline.
