On Happiness : Gilded Pocket Edition

On Happiness is Epicurus' classic philosophical text exploring the pursuit of a good and contented life, addressing themes of friendship, morality, religion, and the nature of pleasure. Epicurus argued that scientific observation was the only reliable way to test ideas about the world, and advocated simple, modest living as the surest path to lasting happiness, views that went on to influence later thinkers including Isaac Newton, Thomas Hobbes, and Karl Marx.

This Arcturus Ornate Classics gilded pocket edition, translated by Robert Drew Hicks and Peter Saint-Andre with an introduction by Professor Nicholas Gooding, is presented as an elegant hardback gift edition with an embossed cover, ivory pages, decorated endpapers, and gold-gilded edges.
