The Epicurean Philosopher
Hiram Crespo is the author of Tending the Epicurean Garden and translator of A Few Days in Athens, Alexander the Oracle Monger, and other works (into Spanish). He specializes in non-fiction, insightful commentary and philosophy, but delves into food blogging, activism, minimalism, and conscious consumption.
Hiram is a cultural creative who founded societyofepicurus.com and frequently writes didactic content related to Epicurean philosophy and its scientific doctrine of individual happiness, ethics, and tranquility. While writing his book, he demonstrated how research by social scientists, dietitians, neuroscientists and others vindicated the 2,300-year-old teachings of Epicurus.
Crespo has been featured in The Humanist, The New Humanism, Humanist Life, Occupy.com, Greenewave, Om Times, and other outlets. He also edits societyofepicurus.com and manages its social media outlets.
