    Hello, Friends of Epicurus.

    Thanks to Cassius for the forum on-boarding assistance.


    My interest in this forum is to continue learning more about the teachings of Epicurus. I am interested in understanding the Ethics and how to apply them daily. I enjoy the discussions on Lucretius Today podcast every week. I try to listen to them on the weekend, for my Sunday ‘sermon’, and contemplation.

    The Physics of Epicurus I am finding is fascinatingly prescient as current Quantum Field Theory & Quantum Gravity theory are providing the scientific revealing from Nature.


    I look forward to continuing my education through this forum and the wealth of resources here.


    Patrick (Patrikios for my Greek friends)

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
