Welcome EpicureanEd ! When you get a chance please tell us a little about your background and interest in Epicurus.

EpicureanEd · August 14, 2019 at 12:09 AM

Hi, my name is Ed, I'm from Pennsylvania, USA, I'm a writer/journalist, and I've been interested in epicurean philosophy for nearly 20 years. I've read the principal doctrines, Vatican sayings, and just about everything else extant from Epicurus that has been translated into English, as well as Lucretius, and some of Philodemus' writings. I've shared my research and asked many questions in epicurean Facebook groups over the years and it is great to find this new forum to use.

Great to hear from you Ed. And I want to memorialize that you were the one that first introduced me to "A Few Days In Athens" so I will always be appreciative to you for that!

Welcome, Ed! Sounds like you have a great foundation, I look forward to hearing more from you.

Ed I don't think I realized that you were a writer / journalist. What type writing do you do?

Welcome, Ed!

I do freelance writing for different news sites. I was covering things like cryptocurrency news and tech, but recently started writing for a nonprofit that covers stories about other nonprofits and organizations that are doing good things.
