10 Mors immortālis
Бессмертная смерть.Лукреций, "О природе вещей", III, 861 сл.:Débet ením, miseré si fórt(e) aegréque futúrumst,Accider(e). Id quoniám mors éximit ésseque próbetIllum cúi possínt incómmoda cónciliári,Néc miserúm fierí qui nón est pósse, nequ(e) hílumDífferr(e) án nulló fuerít jam témpore nátus,Mórtalem vitám mors c(um) ímmortális adémit.Если же в будущем ждут и несчастья и горе, то долженВ это же время и тот пребывать, с кем могут случитьсяЭти невзгоды. Но раз изымает их смерть, преграждаяЖизнь у того, кто бы мог подвергнуться бедствий ударам,Ясно, что нам ничего не может быть страшного в смерти,Что невозможно тому, кого нет, оказаться несчастным,Что для него все равно, хоть совсем бы на свет не родитьсяЕжели смертная жизнь отнята уже смертью бессмертной.(Перевод Ф. Петровского)"Бессмертная смерть" - найденный Лукрецием художественный образ для широко распространенного в античной литературе представления о смерти как окончании всех жизненных невзгод.ср. Сенека, "Послание к Маркий", 19, 4: Mors dolorum omnium et solutio est et finis, ultra quam mala nostra non exeant. "Смерть - разрешение и конец всех скорбей, предел, за который не переступают наши горести"ср. тж. Саллюстий, "Заговор Катилины", 51, 20 - слова Цезаря, сказанные им в сенате при обсуждении участи арестованных сообщников Катилины: in luctu atque miseriis mortem aerumnarum requiem, non cruciatum esse: eam cuncta mortalium mala dissolvere; ultra neque curae neque gaudio locum esse. "В печали и в несчастиях смерть не мученье, а упокоение от тягот: она разрешает все горести смертных; нет далее места ни заботе, ни радости"Стоический мудрец имеет в виду вовсе не "жизнь без жизненного развития", а абсолютно подвижную жизнь, как это вытекает уже из его взгляда на природу - гераклитовского, динамичного, развивающегося и живого, - тогда как у эпикурейцев принципом мировоззрения является, по выражению Лукреция, mors immortalis, атом [ Выражение mors immortalis здесь связывается с основным понятием эпикурейской атомистики, для чего приведенный текст Лукреция оснований не дает. - авт. ], а вместо "подвижной жизни" жизненным идеалом провозглашается божественный досуг, в противовес божественной энергии у Аристотеля.
