Revolt Against

"Epicurus is a neglected philospher. (...)  In addition to clearing the ground of misconceptions, care has been taken to show the substantial contributions of Epicurus to the Western tradition: his popularization of the atomic theory of Democritus and the implications of this theory for human happiness, his propaganda against antiscientific superstition and popular religion, his revolt against Platonic rationalism and insistence on empirical methods of verification, and his new "peace of mind" gospel for the troubled intelligentsia of the Hellenistic period."

G. Strodach, 'The Philosophy of Epicurus' (New York 1993; unabridged republication 1963), vii-viii.

P.S. I bought three new Epicurus books one month ago. Yesterday, finally the last one arrived. Now I am ready for my Epicurus project; looking for an answer to my questions: 

• Epicurus who cares?
• Why should species 'homo sapiens' care?
• What is wrong with Plato according to Epicurus?
• What is Nietzsche his opinion on Epicurus?
• What would planet Earth look like when all 'homo sapiens' are Epicurian?

P.P.S. But first I've to finish M. Gable, 'A Paris Apartment' (New York 2014).
