    From O2x Ohio:

    Hello,

    I am emailing to request activation of my account at Epicurean Friends - O2x Ohio. Specifically, I want to be able to post a thread asking for help on Epicurean teachings on light and matter. Thank you very much.

    Sincerely,

    Yes, thank you very much. This is why I've joined. I have lived most of my life more interested in the present and more recent history and over the past year I've branched off into new areas of learning.

    One thing that I am very interested in is learning about light. As I understand it, it is electromagnetic radiation. During my studies on light I have had the Epicureans brought up multiple times though quite frustratingly they always get brought up in a very fleeting manner. It's as though what I am reading and watching brings up Epicureanism and its understanding of light as a given - as some sort of a foundational knowledge - though I have yet to find anything that fills in this mysterious connection for me.

    Also, if there are any good introduction books to Epicureanism that I can read I would appreciate knowing what they are so as to begin my own research.

    EDIT: I've found the reading list and will start with DeWitt!

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.
