Epicurus His Continuing Influence And Contemporary Relevance

The chapters in this book provide a kaleidoscope of opinions about the teachings of Epicurus, (c. 341-271 B. C. E.). spanning two thousands years. They also tell about the archaeological discoveries in Ocnoanda and Herculaneum that promise to augment the scant remains we have of Epicurus's writings. The breadth of this new work will be welcomed by those who value Epicurean philosophy as a scholarly and person resource for contemporary life. Epicurus: His continuing influence and Contemporary Relevance is the title of a conference on Epicurus held at Rochester institute of Technology in April, 2002 when many of the ideas in this book were first presented.Gordon, Dane R. is the author of 'Epicurus His Continuing Influence And Contemporary Relevance', published 2003 under ISBN 9780971345966 and ISBN 0971345961.
