More about the book
Epicurus emphasized the pursuit of a happy and tranquil life, advocating for peace, freedom from fear, and self-sufficiency among friends. He argued that pleasure and pain define good and evil, and that death should not be feared as it marks the end of existence. His philosophy dismisses divine intervention in human affairs and posits an infinite, eternal universe governed by atomic interactions. This book compiles the surviving principles and letters from Epicurus, offering a glimpse into the foundational ideas of the Epicurean school, known as The Garden.
