This book deals with the principal doctrines of Epicureanism and the Epicurean
pursuit of pleasure.

“The term Epicureanism has two distinct meanings. In its popular sense, the
word stands for a refined and calculating selfishness, seeking not power or
fame, but the pleasures of sense, particularly of the palate, and those in
company rather than solitude. An epicure is one who is extremely choice and
delicate in his viands. In the other sense, Epicureanism signifies a
philosophical system, which includes a theory of conduct, of nature, and of
mind.” (Michael J. Ryan)
