Epicurus wrote 300 scrolls that are lost to us. The writings of many other Epicureans are also forever gone. We can’t change that. What we CAN do is write 300 times 300 new scrolls and revitalize our philosophy with new insights, with new discourse that is relevant to our age and to our lives. These are the older Eikas essays:

This collection of essays (formerly called SoFE’s Journal) came together during the earlier years of SoFE with the kind assistance of Sasha Euler and has been created as a compilation of contemporary Epicurean conversations and discussions from all walks of life: thinkers, pupils, scholars, and everyday bloggers. We are preserving it for the benefit of students.
