There is a collection of most of what letters and writings of his that you could probably find at a library. There's not much (we lost a lot of his writing), but it's nice. Also there is a really lovely book called "The Consolations of Philosophy" by Alain De Botton which has a chapter about Epicurus.
Thanks for this post. As a newcomber to philosophy, you sparked an interest in subjects I wasn't aware existed. Everything you mention about Hobbes' state of nature is in Leviathan, right? You didn't use information from other books, essays, articles, etc.? When it comes to Epicureanism, what are the works one should read? All I see is a collection of quotes and letters written by him. What would you recommend me to read by him?
Edit: I found a book called "The Essential Epicurus". Is this a suitable collection, do you think?
just keep doing what you're doing man, also check out some old philosophers and read some of their shit. While they are smart and wise and shit, the most interesting thing is that the advice they give is still extremely relevant even 2000+ years later (kinda crazy if you think about it).
The Essential Epicurus: Principal Doctrines are actually pretty insightful.
You don't need to read the whole book, its very short btw but you can just click on the amazon preview and read some of them. Some of those points may resonate with you and they may also make you realize how even though many things have changed, human nature still is mostly exactly the same.
