    Epicurus

    A Philosopher

    • Epicurus

    Hellinistic Philosopher

    341-271 B.C.

    Epicurus's major works include:

  • Letter To Herodotus

  • Letter to Pythocles

  • Letter to Menoecceus

  • On Nature (Only Fragments)

    From his works, we can conclude that Epicurus's main areas of concentration were ethics, physical theory and epistemology. Most importantly, Epicurus was a hedonist; he thought pain was the only true evil.
