Dynamic Reading. Studies in the Reception of Epicureanism. - HOLMES, B. S.,

studies in the reception of Epicureanism

KORTE INHOUD

Dynamic Reading is an exciting experiment in perspective. Eleven essays by a range of distinguished scholars come at the Epicurean inheritance from radically different angles, from an ancient Roman who starved himself to death to Mark Rothko, from a 'whore's doctrine of pleasure' to the philosophy of Giles Deleuze. The volume bears witness to the haunting ambiguity of Epicureanism and to its continuing vitality. Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern (Publisher's information).
