Episode 186 - "Epicurus And His Philosophy" Part 38 - Chapter 15 - Extension, Submergence, Revival - 01

Welcome to Episode 186 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the only complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where you will find a discussion thread for each of our podcast episodes and many other topics. We are now in the process of a series of podcasts intended to provide a general overview of Epicurean philosophy based on the organizational structure employed by Norman DeWitt in his book "Epicurus and His Philosophy." This week we begin our discussion of Chapter 15, entitled "Extension, Submergence, and Revival."Chapter XV - Extension, Submergence, And RevivalGeneral Evidence of PopularityFortunes of the Parent SchoolThe Beginning of Stoic HostilityThe School In AntiochEpicureans In the New TestamentThe School In AlexandriaEpicureanism In ItalyEpicureanism In RomeThe Reaction Against EpicureanismEpicureanism In The Early EmpirePlutarch, Anti-EpicureanEpicureanism In The Graeco-Roman WorldThird And Fourth CenturiesEpicureanism In the Middle AgesThe Epicurean Revival
