Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Epicureanism theorizes an infinite universe of moving particles, with no divine purpose and no life after death. Happiness depends on simple needs satisfied to provide tranquility of mind. This volume presents a comprehensive collection of the surviving works and wise sayings of Epicurus together with the great systematic account of Epicurean natural science in Lucretius's ON THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one has everything the beginning epicurean could want, November 21, 1998
By A Customer
Contains all of the primary epicurean texts plus the complete De Rerum Natura by Lucretius. The introduction is one of the best I have ever read. A bargain.
