Intersectional Perspectives on Class Identity and Precarity in Contemporary Culture

2024 || Paperback || Michiel Rys e.a. || Leuven University Press

Epicureanism and Scientific Debates

Antiquity and Late Reception. Volume I

2023 || Hardcover || Francesca Masi e.a. || Leuven University Press

Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more spe...
