review 2: By taking what Epicurus has written himself (or so we think), and Lucretius versions, the author manages to build a solid summary of Epicureanism. The book is directed to novices more than advanced persons, and offers a simple way to dig into this ideal of happiness, without much background in philosophy.If all of it is true I don’t know, as philosophy is always open to personal interpretation. But I feel much of what is said is simply stated facts and a run through what makes the basics of Epicureanism. It then lets you then evaluate your own position within this set of values, and this is great. less

Wow, that's quite a long introduction for so short a primary document.

some interesting notes - and many presumptuous or arrogant.
