    Coming up this next Monday is our First Monday Epicurean Philosophy Discussion - Via Zoom at 8pm ET -This is a great opportunity for meeting others who are also studying Epicurean philosophy -- and we especially want to invite new members to attend!

    Agenda:

    1. Welcome

    2. Meet-and-greet (for new members who have not previously attended a Zoom meeting).

    3. Short presentation "Practical Exercises in Applied Epicurean Philosophy" by Kalosyni

    4. Open Epicurean Philosophy Discussion

    We'll be sure to have time open for discussion beyond the special topic, or to discuss any current popular forum threads, or questions.

    If you are new or haven't attended before -- let us know if you are interested by posting in this thread or message Cassius or myself.

    Previous attendees will already be on the list and will receive a private message about a day or two before the meeting which will contain the link (no need to RSVP beforehand).

    Hope to see you there! :)

    Thank you to all who attended last night's meeting!

    We had a total of seven people. I gave a short presentation on several select Principal Doctrines, as translated by Long and Sedley - highlighting the importance of understanding the limits of pleasure and pain, and then we discussed how those PDs applied to everyday life.

    I've posted source material from the presentation over in this other sub-forum.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
