What is a man composed of according to Epicurus?

Answer 1

A conglomeration of atoms, which dissolve with one's death. This being so one should not be preoccupied with the after-life but aim at a sane happiness in this one. The Roman poet Lucretius applied the philosophy of Epicurus in his great poem "On the Nature of Things". One other point: in the material world, such as the one Epicurus believed in, the movement of atoms is random and unpredictable, a surprising anticipation of the uncertainty principle in nuclear physics.
