This was a slog of a read for me. I picked up this after reading Seneca bash Epicurus and his followers, curious to see what an absolute libertine the man was and what kind of philosophy he had developed for degenerates everywhere.
Unfortunately, Epicurus' philosophy is not a tenth as exciting and rebellious to human nature as his rivals suggested. In fact, many of his teachings are shockingly similar to the tenets of stoicism (learn to derive pleasures from the bare minimum; do not fret over that which you cannot change or fully understand; treasure friendships, etc.).
The main entertainment I got from this was learning the basics of Epicurus' materialism, his theories on the natural world, and the revelation on the massive misrepresentation he suffered at the hands of his contemporaries and future philosophers.

"We are born once. We cannot be born a second time, and throughout eternity we shall of necessity no longer exist. You have no power over the morrow, and yet you put off your pleasure. Life is ruined by procrastination, and every one of us dies deep in his affairs."
"Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little."

Offre un sacco di spunti di riflessione. Si potrebbe sicuramente leggere insieme alla lettera ad un giovane poeta di Rilke, rispetto alla quale per certi versi risulta complementare. Approfondire alcune delle massime, per comprendere meglio il suo concetto di anima (per esempio) sarebbe interessante: speriamo che ritrovino altri suoi scritti. Una piccola perla
