New Book by Erler (Würzburg Center): "Epicurus: An Introduction to His Practical Ethics and Politics"

Regularly Checking In On A Small Screen Device? Bookmark THIS page!

    By luck I've found another new book - and it's available in my local library! I've checked the table of contents and it seems to be quite valueable, especially for the sake of expanding one's knowledge on how the ancient Epicureans practised their philosophy.

    I hope the links work:

    General Information

    Table of Contents

    Please let me know if you are interested in the content of several chapters, I can look them up for you.

    1 - Oh no! he actually put that figure from the "school of athens" on the front of his book!?! ;)

    2 - The table of contents looks very interesting and could have material we've not discussed. Not sure what to ask for, however, so maybe just keep us in mind if you see something that seems new to you?
