    As we in the USA start a long holiday weekend, please remember to join us if you can Sunday morning at 11 AM for a skype conference call to discuss Epicurean philosophy. Our topic will be chapter 12 of Norman DeWitt's "Epicurus and His Philosophy," but Julie has prepared a great outline so even if you have not read the book you'll easily be able to follow along. A link to the conference will be posted later this weekend but all you need is a working Skype connection on your desktop or phone. Don't worry about video - this will be audio only.

    Here's the full outline: NewHedonism_v3.pdf

    This one will be hit or miss for me, as I am at a receiving dock right now; but I'll download Skype just in case. In any event I hope we're all having a pleasant time! (A rainy morning here in east central Ohio for me).

    We just had an excellent conference call to discuss Chapter 12 of Epicurus and His Philosophy, and thanks to all who participated. We'll be continuing the same discussion next week, same time, same place. Thanks especially to the two new people who joined us today, and we will look forward to next time starting with the subsection "The Natural Ceilings of Pleasure.

    Joshua we are sorry you missed it, but thanks to Godfrey for joining us, and we hope you both can participate next week!

    You can learn a lot from a person's voice and so it was great to hear from you directly!

    Is there or will there be a summary or notes taken from these discussions for future reference, that can continue to be used or posted for the benefit of people in the future who may choose to read it, using a "study guide" prepared by Epicureans?

    If there is, I'd like to have a page link to share.

    At this point the answer is no, Hiram, but within the subforum dedicated to the book it is divided into chapters and the "outlines" we have prepared so far are there. As far as notes highlighting the discussions that would be great but at this point we don't have anyone doing that.
