''Epicureanism'' by William Wallace is a comprehensive guide to the philosophy of Epicureanism, which originated in ancient Greece and has continued to influence Western thought for centuries. The book explores the teachings of Epicurus, who believed that the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain were the ultimate goals of human life. Wallace examines the key principles of Epicureanism, including the nature of the gods, the importance of friendship, and the role of pleasure in human happiness. He also discusses the ways in which Epicureanism has been interpreted and adapted by later thinkers, from the Roman poet Lucretius to the modern philosopher Michel Foucault. With clear, accessible language and insightful analysis, ''Epicureanism'' is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the pursuit of a fulfilling life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
