«Defensa de Epicuro contra la común opinión» is the philosophical essay by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Tecnos in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Quevedo presents Epicurus, linked to atomistic materialism and hedonism, as a philosopher compatible with the Christian faith. He thus rehabilitates an author mistreated by common opinion, in the wake of Erasmus and the pan-European movement that sought to accommodate ancient philosophy to Christian thought.
The work originally appeared in Madrid in 1635. It is number 15 in the Tecnos collection Clásicos del pensamiento, edited by Eduardo Acosta Méndez.
Recommended for readers interested in classical philosophy, Spanish Baroque thought, and the Christian reception of Epicurus.
Spanish Golden Age writer and poet, master of conceptismo, author of El Buscón and of an enormous body of poetry and satire.
