Lucretius Today Podcast Episode 311 Is Now Available!

Listen to “Episode 311 – Is Pain The Only Reason We Should Be Concerned About Any Aspect Of Death And Dying” on Spreaker.

Welcome to Episode 311 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote “On The Nature of Things,” the most 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 we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes.

This week in the absence of Joshua and Kalosyni we will make a brief review of Dr. Emily Austin’s “Epicurus and The Politics Of The Fear of Death,” which we have discussed in a recent thread thanks to Pacatus bringing the article to our attention.

Next week we will be back with more Tusculan Disputations, but this week we’ll set the stage for more discussion of this very good article.
