AbstractMost ancient philosophers accept that dreams have prophetic powers enabling humans to relate somehow to a world beyond their own. The only philosophers known to make a clean and explicit break with that tradition are the Epicureans, beginning with Epicurus himself and reaching his last eminent follower, Diogenes of Oinoanda.

Philosophy Today, 2019
By looking at its history, this article emphasizes the importance of practical judgment for materialism. This sense of practical judgment is traced back to the function of phronesis in one of the ancient schools of materialism, namely, the Epicureans.

Epicureanism has long been perceived as a theory of hedonism imbodying many contradictions and unintuitive directives. The fact that much of the surviving work of Epicurus exists only through the works of Roman scholars seeking to discount his ideas is a good reason to believe that Epicureanism has been misperceived and misrepresented.

The Classical Quarterly, 1989
Illusions play a central part in Epicurean philosophy. One of its fundamental assumptions is that men are the victims of a certain grand illusion and, as long as they remain so, can never aspire to a happy life. This is the illusion that pleasures can be increased in intensity without limit.

Abstract If one were to ask people to rank the contributions made by the Epicureans to philosophy, I would not be surprised if poetic theory were near the bottom of most people’s lists, or altogether missing, whereas poetry itself might well be at the top.

Abstract The empirical and foundational turn in Hellenistic epistemology is familiar to students of ancient Greek philosophy. We tend to suppose that the positions defended by the Epicureans and the Stoics, and sceptically examined by the Academy, were broadly characterized by two assumptions. They took the concepts that give thought its
