The philosophy of Epicurus (c. 341-271 B. C. E.), has been a
quietly pervasive influence for more than two millennia. At
present, when many long revered ideologies are proven empty,
Epicureanism is powerfully and refreshingly relevant, offering a
straightforward way of dealing with the issues of life and death.
The chapters in this book provide a kaleidoscope of contemporary
opinions about Epicurus' teachings. They tell us also about the
archeological discoveries that promise to augment the scant remains
we have of Epicurus's own writing. the breadth of this new work
will be welcomed by those who value Epicurean philosophy as a
scholarly and personal resource for contemporary life. "Epicurus:
His Continuing Influence and Contemporary Relevance," is the title
of a 2002 conference on Epicurus held at Rochester Institute of
Technology, when many of the ideas here were first presented.
