"Epicurus the Extant Remains With Short Critical Apparatus Translation and Notes" offers a comprehensive and scholarly presentation of the surviving writings of Epicurus, one of the most influential thinkers of the ancient world. Edited and translated by the esteemed scholar Cyril Bailey, this volume collects the essential fragments of Epicurean thought, including the letters to Herodotus, Pythocles, and Menoeceus, as well as the "Principal Doctrines."

Epicurus's philosophy, centered on the pursuit of peace of mind (ataraxia) and the understanding of the physical world through atomism, remains a cornerstone of Western ethical and scientific inquiry. This edition provides a clear and precise English translation alongside a critical apparatus that aids in the interpretation of these foundational texts. Detailed notes explore the linguistic and philosophical nuances of the work, making it an indispensable resource for students of classical studies and the history of philosophy. By preserving these remnants of Epicureanism, this work allows readers to engage directly with the primary sources of a school of thought that shaped the Hellenistic age and continues to resonate in modern discussions on happiness and the nature of reality.
