Description
The writings of Epicurus, a highly influential Greek philosopher, offer insights into life and death, religion and science, physical sensation, happiness, morality, and friendship. His teachings attracted a wide following in the ancient Mediterranean world and continue to influence thought to this day.
This volume brings together all of Epicurus' extant writings, including his letters, doctrines, and sayings, alongside parallel passages from Lucretius and extracts from Diogenes Laertius' Life of Epicurus. A foreword by Daniel Klein provides context and introduction to Epicurean philosophy.
Published by Penguin Publishing Group, this edition is part of the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. With authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, this edition provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy and the ancient world.
