Are Stoics, Buddhists, Judeo-Christians, Humanists, Minimalists, et al. Welcome At EpicureanFriends?

NEW UPDATES! Check out our updated "Guide to Getting Started" with helpful tips on beginning your study of Epicurean Philosophy! We now have a "Website Overview" for navigation with clickable links, and an updated "Forum Map Flow Chart" for navigation to key sections of our forum!

EpicureanFriends.com welcomes all who are sincerely interested in Epicurean Philosophy to read our public forums and make use of our public resources. We have extensive public discussion threads and resources explicitly for the purpose of allowing people who do not consider themselves fully Epicurean to read and learn about the philosophy of Epicurus. However, as an explicitly pro-Epicurean forum, our goal is to provide a place for those who do consider themselves to be primarily Epicurean to communicate productively with each other about Classical Epicurean Philosophy. For that reason, regular posting privileges and attendance at our online Zoom meetings are reserved only to those who agree to our Community Standards, our Not Neo-Epicurean, But Epicurean statement, and our Key Posting Policy statement.

Please see in particular our "Not Neo-Epicurean But Epicurean" Statement:
