The purpose of this course will be to learn Epicurus using Lucretius’ “De Rerum Natura” as our guide. In other words, in this course we will study Epicurus in exactly the order and with exactly the content that Epicurus’ greatest poet used to introduce Epicurean philosophy to his friend Memmius. Course material will include the discussion of each section of the poem as conducted on the Lucretius Today Podcast.
