EpicureanFriends is a community of real people dedicated to the study and promotion of Classical Epicurean Philosophy. We offer what no encyclopedia, AI chatbot, textbook, or general philosophy forum can provide — genuine teamwork among people committed to rediscovering and restoring the actual teachings of Epicurus, unadulterated by Stoicism, Skepticism, Supernatural Religion, Humanism, or other incompatible philosophies.
My name is Adam, my username DailyEpicurus I chose because that is the username of a Twitter account I run.
I’m relatively new (1 year or so) to Epicureanism, but I’ve never had something resonate with me so deeply, so profoundly. I can’t get enough of Epicureanism. I have a pretty large library built up, both physical and digital.
I repeat the 4 Part Cure to myself daily, especially in moments of anxiety, worry, etc.
Love that your suggested books includes ‘A Few Days in Athens’ - I adore that book.
If I could be so bold to suggest an addition to the list, I’d say “The Epicurean Inscription” by Diogenes of Oinoanda would be a great addition!
