The teachings of Epicurus-about life and death, religion and
science, physical sensation, happiness, morality, and
friendship-attracted legions of adherents throughout the ancient
Mediterranean world and deeply influenced later European thought.
Though Epicurus faced hostile opposition for centuries after his
death, he counts among his many admirers Thomas Hobbes, Thomas
Jefferson, Karl Marx, and Isaac Newton. This volume includes all of
his extant writings-his letters, doctrines, and Vatican
sayings-alongside parallel passages from the greatest exponent of
his philosophy, Lucretius, extracts from Diogenes Laertius' Life of
Epicurus, a lucid introductory essay about Epicurean philosophy,
and a foreword by Daniel Klein, author of Travels with Epicurus and
coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk
into a Bar.
