Julie Giovacchini investigates in depth the main coordinates of the empirical method of knowledge in the Epicurean philosophy, analysing some important evidence provided in particular by Philodemus, Diogenes of Oenoanda and Lucretius as well as by the indirect testimony of Diogenes Laertius and Sextus Empiricus. For this purpose, Giovacchini draws attention to some relevant parallels with the empirical method of ancient medicine, as attested in texts circulating under the name of Hippocrates, in Galen’s testimonies, and in Latin authors.

Abstract

Julie Giovacchini investigates in depth the main coordinates of the empirical method of knowledge in the Epicurean philosophy, analysing some important evidence provided in particular by Philodemus, Diogenes of Oenoanda and Lucretius as well as by the indirect testimony of Diogenes Laertius and Sextus Empiricus. For this purpose, Giovacchini draws attention to some relevant parallels with the empirical method of ancient medicine, as attested in texts circulating under the name of Hippocrates, in Galen’s testimonies, and in Latin authors.
