Description
This volume provides a new Greek text and a detailed historical-philosophical commentary on Epicurus' Letter to Pythocles. The content of the letter concerns the study of the causes of celestial phenomena by means of the so-called method of multiple explanations, which is an original Epicurean novelty in ancient epistemologies. In addition to the substantial introduction and commentary by Francesco Verde, the book includes a foreword by Mauro Tulli, which sheds light on the structure of the letter, a critical-philological note, the Greek text, and the Italian translation by Dino De Sanctis, and an essay on the philosophical implications of the method of multiple explanations by Francesca G. Masi.

With contributions by
Dino de Sanctis, Francesca G. Masi, Mauro Tulli and Francesco Verde.
