I'm a 77 yo artist, photographer, gardener. My reading in philosophy, which has gone on for many years now, mostly during the winter months, is very unstructured. I'll read a positive review and think, that looks interesting. One book, one idea, leads to another. A couple years ago I read more deeply about Stoicism, but always found myself questioning some of its basic premises. Reading Catherine Wilson's book made me think that Epicureanism might provide a practical way to view the world that didn't involve gods or a grand plan. I just finished Emily Austin's book "Living for Pleasure" which led me to look for a community of other Epicurus fans. I look forward to exploring your site.
