Epicurus: An Introduction is written by J. M. Rist and published by CUP Archive. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0521084261 (ISBN 10) and 9780521084260 (ISBN 13).

Professor Rist's account of Epicurus mediates between the extremes of approval and opposition traditionally accorded to him, and he emerges as an ideologist, a pragmatic philosopher whose most notable achievement was to reject the prevailing social ethos of Hellenism and assert the rights of the individual against those of the community or state.
