Description

The teachings of Epicurus – about life and death, religion and science, physical sensation, happiness, morality, and friendship – attracted legions of adherents throughout the ancient Mediterranean world and deeply influenced later European thought. This volume includes all of his extant writings alongside parallel passages from the greatest exponent of his philosophy, Lucretius, extracts from Diogenes Laertius’ ‘Life of Epicurus’, a lucid introductory essay about Epicurean philosophy, and a foreword by Daniel Klein, author of ‘Travels with Epicurus’.
