Letters And Sayings Of Epicurus by Epicurus
A concise compilation of practical teachings that present a life guided by simple pleasures, prudent restraint, and the removal of fear, especially fear of gods and death; it outlines Epicurean ethics and natural philosophy—arguing that tranquility (ataraxia) and the absence of bodily pain are the highest goods, that desires should be classified and managed, and that knowledge arises from reliable sensations—while also emphasizing friendship, modest living, and rational choices to achieve a serene, self-sufficient life.
