This Companion presents both an introduction to the history of the
ancient philosophical school of Epicureanism and also a critical
account of the major areas of its philosophical interest. Chapters
span the school's history from the early Hellenistic Garden to the
Roman Empire and its later reception in the Early Modern period,
introducing the reader to the Epicureans' contributions in physics,
metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, ethics and politics. The
international team of contributors includes scholars who have
produced innovative and original research in various areas of
Epicurean thought and they have produced essays which are
accessible and of interest to philosophers, classicists, and anyone
concerned with the diversity and preoccupations of Epicurean
philosophy and the state of academic research in this field. The
volume emphasises the interrelation of the different areas of the
Epicureans' philosophical interests while also drawing attention to
points of interpretative difficulty and controversy.
