Title: Live unnoticed. On the Vicissitudes of an Epicurean Doctrine.
Description: Brill, Leiden / Boston, 2007. XI,233p. Hard bound. Nice copy. Like new. Series: Philosophia Antiqua, Volume 111. "?Were this book a dish, and after all it is about Epicureanism, everybody would find it appetising because it is well written, but some might find it rather light for their stomach. There are six chapters: an introduction, a presentation of Epicurus and his philosophy, the Epicureans of the first generation (Metrodorus, Hermarchus and Coyotes), ?later generations of the school? (Lucretius, Philodemus, Diogenes of Oenoanda) and a general conclusion; Chapter 6 is an appendix on Augustan poetry. (?) All in all, this is a pleasant book to read, with a positive view of Epicureanism, even if some interpretations suggest the reader should use it carefully.? (YASMINA BENFERHAT in The Classical Review (New Series), 2009, pp.393-395)."
