Description

The point of this study is the connection of Epicurus' arguments to contemporary scientific and moral debates and the ensuing culture war. It exposes the ancient philosophical roots of what is usually presented as 'modern science' and shows how America's moral decline is a product of the Darwinian worldview, itself a revival of ancient materialist philosophy.

First Sentence

One definition of Epicurean is "a person fond of luxury and sensuous pleasure."
