Stoic Six Pack 3 – The Epicureans: On The Nature of Things, Letters and Principal Doctrines of Epicurus, De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, The Garden of Epicurus and Stoics vs Epicureans (Illustrated) Kindle Edition

Creaky old translations, many available elsewhere on the Internet for free, of important Epicurean works. The Lucretius is unreadable, and available on Gutenberg for free. The translation of Lucretius that I like best is Rolfe Humphries, who fashions the title as "The way things are." http://www.amazon.com/Lucretius-Things-Rerum-Natura-Titus/dp/025320125X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462827047&sr=8-1&keywords=lucretius+humphries Unfortunately, the Kindle edition of that book is yet another translation, also bad, by Slavitt, even though it claims to be by Humphries. "Look inside" and see for yourself. Just get the Humphries paperback, that's my advice.These Stoic sixpacks are convenient, and cheap, and I like the idea of providing accessible portable editions of classic works, but you can find much better translations, and it's worth it to seek them out. You have to read excerpts for yourself and decide which works best for you.

For $37 I thought it would be a nice edition. This books is a scam. In terms of quality it looks like a word document, the margins are tiny, but worst of all, EVERY PAGE HAS MULTIPLE TYPOS, and not just punctuation, I mean often important errors that change the meaning of the sentence, or make it difficult to understand the meaning of a sentence, as negatives or in some cases entire phrases are missing except for one word.

If you're a lover of philosophy or simply want to learn more about what Stoicism is, this is definitely for you. I really don't know where else one can find this much wisdom for this price. I highly recommend it!

Surprisingly beautiful English translation. Captures Lucretius' Epicurean thought. A bit of trouble to read, but worth the effort.

A+

A whisper from ancient time carrying a useful message for us.

The works.of the ancient Greeks that have survived give us insights into the thinking of our ancestors Even though they did not have the benefit of the experience and research that has occurred over the past two thousand years, their intuitive hunches have often shown the way for the great thinkers that have come later

“Stoic Six Pack 3 - The Epicureans: On The Nature of Things, Letters and Principal Doctrines of Epicurus, De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, The Garden of Epicurus and Stoics vs Epicureans” What a title! I’ve read a couple other sets similar to this and was very happy to find this one. The authors are outstanding:1) Epicurus (341–270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher.2) Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC) was a Roman philosopher, politician, etc.3) Titus Lucretius Carus (c. 99 BC-c. 55 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher.4) Sir William Temple, 1st Baronet (25 April 1628 – 27 January 1699) was an English statesman and essayist.5) Robert Drew Hicks (1850-1929) was a classical scholar.High marks for this philosophical and thought provoking set of masterful works.

A good Look At Epicurus. He had a good understanding of universal law and expresses himself in a most excellent manner. I know of no person who could say his sayings were not true and beneficial to their general learning.
