Professor Rist's short introduction to the philosophy of Epicurus
combines scholarship with clear exposition. All Greek in the text
is translated, and discussion of more specialised problems of
interpretation is relegated to appendices. In an account which
mediates between the extremes of approval and opposition
traditionally accorded to him, Epicurus emerges as an ideologist, a
pragmatic philosopher whose most notable achievement perhaps was to
reject much of the prevailing social ethos of Hellenism and assert
the rights and claims of the individual against those of the
community or state.
