Hello and thank you for the welcome. I have had a long-standing interest in the philosophy of Epicurus going back to reading some of De Rerum Natura in Latin class at school. Exposure to this text I consider the one thing that made four years' Latin worthwhile! It is a bit random that I have become more intensely interested, from both an academic and personal/practical point of view, recently, but there it is, and I will see where it goes.
I note the list of texts, some of which I have read, leaving much to get my teeth into. Among others of relevance, I read some time ago Howard Jones' The Epicurean Tradition and Greenblatt's The Swerve, and before that a book by an Italian author whose name I can't for the life of me now remember and which I would now like to re-read. This focussed particularly on the Letter to Menoecius (referred to as la Lettera sulla Felicita), and concepts of communita and napolitanita. If that rings a bell with anyone, please let me know!
I am interested in the full range of the philosophy. One particular point that is nagging me a little just now is how energy is (directly or by implication) dealt with in the physics. I will look around the forums for anything on that.
