Salve, Epicurean friends!
I’m a “good European” with pagan inclinations, interested in keeping alive the Epicurean-Evolutionary-Liberal tradition.
I would love to explore with you the historical narrative of the modern world as a product of the turn away from the Christian cosmology of intelligent design to the Lucretian cosmology of evolutionary atomism and how Epicurean ideas shaped the leading modern thinkers in philosophy and science (Machiavelli, Montaigne, Hobbes, Locke, Newton, Hume, Spinoza, Darwin, Nietzsche).

Welcome Daniel. Have you read Harvard Professor Stephen Greenblatt's The Swerve: How the world became modern ?
I read it when it came out.
Then I was interested in its Renaissance angle.
I must definitely read it again!
Thanks for the tip, Oscar.
