The Fundamental Books of Epicurus: Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Letters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798464647503)

One of the main philosophers of all time, Epicurus (341-270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher and sage who founded Epicureanism, a highly influential school of philosophy.

Epicurus is said to have originally written over 300 works on various subjects, but the vast majority of these writings have been lost. Only three letters written by him-the letters to Menoeceus, Pythocles, and Herodotus-and two collections of quotes-the Principal Doctrines and the Vatican Sayings-have survived intact.

This book brings the Principal Doctrines and the letters of Epicurus translated by Robert Drew Hicks (1900) and the version of Vatican Sayings, made by R. Medeiros (2021).
