Listen to the latest Lucretius Today Podcast! Episode 223 is now available. In this episode, we address Cicero's accusation that Epicureans Are Undergoing the Exertions Of Life for The Equivalent Of A Drop of Honey.
File List
The EpicureanFriends Files section is where our Level 3 and above participants store longer documents created offsite which are of special interest to the study of Epicurus. You can use the "Categories" box on the right to find specific sections of the library.
Due to my age I remember a time before smartphones when I carried around my notes and to-do lists on printed pieces of letter-sized paper folded to fit in my pocket. Today I decided I wanted to have that same kind of ready access to the main Epicurean doctrines, so I produced the attached PDF of the 12 fundamentals of nature (physics) and the 40 doctrines. I also hope to use this as a handout at Meetup meetings and other presentations in the future. As I find typos and/or make improvements I will update revisions here. I hope someone finds this helpful. (Download by clicking the blue button at the top right.)
