A 30-lesson journey through the philosophy of Epicurus — from the Garden to Gassendi and beyond
❦ ❦ ❦Each lesson follows a structured path: retrieval of prior knowledge, engagement with primary sources, guided exploration of the ideas, discussion and reflection, and a final retrieval check. The course moves from Epicurus the man, through his physics, ethics, and epistemology, into the medieval suppression, Renaissance revival, and Gassendi's remarkable attempt to reconcile Epicurean thought with Christianity.
