The Epicurus Reader: Selected Writings And Test... !EXCLUSIVE!

An introduction to philosophical thought in antiquity, especially that of Socrates, Epicurus, and the Stoics. We will concentrate especially on ethical questions; e.g. what kind of life is best for humans to pursue, how thoughtful persons should weigh the potentially competing claims of reason, pleasure, and emotion-and on how intellectual activity was perceived at Athens and at Rome. Readings to include Aristophanes' Clouds, Plato's Apology and Meno, and selected writings of Epicurus, Lucretius, Cicero, Seneca, and Epictetus.
