Rather than attempting to separate an original Epicureanism from its later readings and misreadings, this collection studies the philosophy together with its subsequent reception, focusing in particular on the ways in which it has provided terms and conceptual tools for defining how we read and respond to texts, artwork, and the world more generally. Whether it helps us to characterize the \"swerviness\" of literary influence, the transformative effects of philosophy, or the \"events\" that shape history, Epicureanism has been a dynamic force in the intellectual history of the West. These essays seek to capture some of that dynamism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brooke Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199794952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199794959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.40d","brand":"Brooke Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094085292287,"sku":"9780199794959","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b2a7ab8-334e-442f-8f0c-15464b4a0c5c.jpg?v=1724843638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dynamic-reading-brooke-holmes-9780199794959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
