      Product Description

      Epicureanism by William Wallace is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophy and teachings of Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who founded the school of thought known as Epicureanism. The book delves into the fundamental beliefs of Epicureanism, including the pursuit of pleasure as the ultimate goal of life, the rejection of superstition and fear of the gods, and the importance of cultivating friendships and living a simple life.Wallace examines the historical context in which Epicureanism emerged, as well as the influence of other philosophical schools on Epicurus' ideas. He also explores the ways in which Epicureanism was received and interpreted by later thinkers and movements, including the Roman poet Lucretius and the Renaissance humanists.Throughout the book, Wallace provides detailed analysis of key texts and concepts, including Epicurus' Letter to Menoeceus, his theory of atomism, and his views on death and the afterlife. He also considers the relevance of Epicureanism to contemporary debates and issues, such as the ethics of consumption and the role of pleasure in a meaningful life.Written in clear and accessible language, Epicureanism is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or seeking to deepen their understanding of this influential school of thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
