Epicureanism in the Imperial Age

Tomorrow I will have the chance to attend a meeting organized by the "La Sapienza" University of Rome entitled "The Epicureism in the Imperial Age". There will be very important professors, such as Francesco Verde, certainly the most important Epicurean scholar in Italy. I asked permission to resume the speeches, so I will share them with you, at least with those who understand Italian.

I am very happy and I want to share this with you.

Here the titles:


Francesco Verde: Epicureism in the imperial age: an introductory sketch

Jurgen Hammerstaedt: Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria against Epicurean atomism

Enrico Piergiacomi (http://epicuro.org/liberta-piacer…-piergiacomi/): The Epicurean Damide and the Zeus tragedo of Luciano. Epicurean rhetoric and theology in Imperial Rome

Alison Keith: Epicurean currents in Martial's Epigrams

Selene I.S. Brumana: Epicurus's "non-philosophy" according to the Platonist Maximus of Tire

Federico Giulio Corsi: The Epicureism of Diogenes of Enoanda

I'll write somothing about it later, but most of the relators agree about Epicureism was very popular until IV century.
