Description

The Principal Doctrines & Letter to Menoeceus is a collection of quotes and a letter that summarize the ethical theory of Epicurus.

Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher whose teachings have had a lasting impact on Western philosophy. Unfortunately, only fragments and letters of his 300 written works remain, making it essential to rely on these surviving texts for insight into his ideas.

This book presents the "Principal Doctrines", forty quotes that distill Epicurus's ethical theory, alongside the "Letter to Menoeceus", which summarizes his approach to living a virtuous life. A timeless and thought-provoking read, this collection offers valuable insights into the enduring principles of Epicurean philosophy.
