First: Our aim is to bring you an accurate presentation of classical Epicurean philosophy as the ancient Epicureans understood it, not to substitute our own opinions for those of Lucretius or Epicurus.

Second: In this podcast we don't express or imply or personal opinions on modern political issues. At Epicureanfriends.com we call this approach ”Not Neo-Epicurean, But Epicurean.“ Epicurean philosophy is not Stoicism, Humanism, Buddhism, Taoism, Atheism, or Marxism - it is a unique philosophy of its own, to be understood on its own terms, and not as subordinate to or in terms of any other schools, conventional modern moralities, or political positions.

Third: The close study of Epicurean philosophy reveals that Epicurus did not advocate the pursuit of luxury, but neither did he teach a minimalist lifestyle. As is written in Vatican Saying 63, “Frugality too has a limit, and the man who disregards it is like him who errs through excess.” The four key points taught by Epicurus that we stress at EpicureanFriends.com are (1) There are no supernatural gods, (2) There is no life after death, (3) All good and evil consist in sensation, and (4) Pleasure is the beginning and end of the blessed life.
