First published in 1992. Epicureanism has had a long and complex history. This book is the first to chronicle this history, from its beginnings in Greece in the fourth century BC to its role in the development of philosophy and science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Divided equally between the classical and post-classical worlds, The Epicurean Tradition is a notable contribution to classical scholarship and to the history of ideas.
Howard Jones is a Professor of Classics at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He has published extensively in the history of philosophy both classical and post-classical.
