Ms.Carmina reads this book from her own reading list. Gateway to the Epicureans Epicurus, Lucretius, and Their Modern Heirs by Epicurus and Lucretius Edited by Spencer A. Klavan #Epicureanism #readaloud #philosophy #Lucretius #books Two and half centuries ago, John Adams complained, “Our modern philosophers are all the low grovelling disciples of Epicurus.” That’s even truer today. The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus is—acknowledged or not—the source of secular “woke” liberalism. In his own time, Epicurus was a fringe thinker. He and his few followers speculated about how invisibly small entities of indivisible matter called “atoms,” hurtling endlessly through an infinite void according to fixed physical laws, could explain the world and everything in it. Most ancient philosophers thought his speculations abstruse and counterintuitive, and he gained few adherents. 👥 Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @mscarmina   At Ms.Carmina, we don't do paid promotions or sponsorships, so please consider a donation ⭐️Please Subscribe, Like & Share :) ⭐️Find Original Ms.Carmina Merchandize at https://www.redbubble.com/people/Chic... ⭐️Ms.Carmina Inc is a non profit organization.
