Chapters span the school's history from the early Hellenistic Garden to the Roman Empire and its later reception in the Early Modern period, introducing the reader to the Epicureans' contributions in physics, metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, ethics and politics. The international team of contributors includes scholars who have produced innovative and original research in various areas of Epicurean thought and they have produced essays which are accessible and of interest to philosophers, classicists, and anyone concerned with the diversity and preoccupations of Epicurean philosophy and the state of academic research in this field. The volume emphasises the interrelation of the different areas of the Epicureans' philosophical interests while also drawing attention to points of interpretative difficulty and controversy. 410 0$aCambridge companions to philosophy. 606 $aEpicureans (Greek philosophy) 606 $aphilosophy$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $ahistory$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aGreece$9eng$2EUROVOC 615 0$aEpicureans (Greek philosophy) 615 7$aphilosophy 615 7$ahistory 615 7$aGreece 676 $a187 702 $aWarren$b James$f1974- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201151603316 996 $aCambridge companion to epicureanism$9227114 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
