    Just released - haven't read - but I am sure it will be good:

    I note that, under the heading "Links and Books" she provides a link to this site, with the comment: "A wealth of open-access Epicurean texts and resources are available at EpicureanFriends.com, an online community committed to Epicurean study and practice. The materials are open to all, but posting to message boards requires a free registration and commitment to shared purpose and norms of civility." Cool!

    "We must try to make the end of the journey better than the beginning, as long as we are journeying; but when we come to the end, we must be happy and content." (Vatican Saying 48)

    Yes we should all be greatly appreciative of her for that plug! Combined with the recent interview with Dr. Glidden, which I think is also getting some circulation, we will likely get at least a small rush of new participants, so let's all try to welcome them as possible.

    Reading it now and it is a great article! I hope at some point we can get Psyche magazine to correct what appears to be a typo right in the middle of a critically important passage. Probably the "and" should be dropped where I highlighted in red, or "but neither" substituted?

    Just finished the full article. It's a summary and refinement of her book, very well presented, and the format at Psyche magazine really enhances the total look of the presentation. We owe a great debt to Dr. Austin too for not only highlighting EpicureanFriends.com but also including a link to her interview with us on Lucretius Today.

    Dr. Austin is simply one of the best - and probably THE best - writers on Epicurus today. Not only does she have a superior way with words, she doesn't back away and hits hard on the point that few others are even willing to touch: that Epicurus promoted both tranquility AND pleasure.

    Thanks for this, reading through her book it's great. I especially loved how she pointed out how ancient Stoics would think neo stoics are quite silly for having the belief about Virtue seeing as they don't hold the same view of the universe (I might have heard her say that in the interview you guys did with her, I can't remember)
