Epicurus (c. 341-271 BCE) Epicurus is one of the major philosophers in the Hellenistic period, the three centuries following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE (and of Aristotle in 322 BCE). Epicurus developed an unsparingly materialistic metaphysics, empiricist epistemology, and hedonistic ethics. Epicurus taught that the basic constituents of the world are atoms, uncuttable bits of matter, flying through empty space, and he tried to explain all natural phenomena in atomic terms. Epicurus rejected the existence of Platonic forms and an immaterial soul, and he said that the gods have no influence on our lives. Epicurus also thought skepticism was untenable, and that we could gain knowledge of the world relying upon the senses. He taught that the point of all one's actions was to attain pleasure (conceived of as tranquility) for oneself, and that this could be done by limiting one's desires and by banishing the fear of the gods and of death. Epicurus' gospel of freedom from fear proved to be quite popular, and communities of Epicureans flourished for centuries after his death.

Epicurus (342-270 B.C.E.) and Victorian Aesthetes William Terpening '98 [Pleasure and "Taste"] ["Sense-Perception," "Wholeness," and the Soul] [Education] Epicurus picurus (342-270 B.C.E.), a Greek philosopher active during the Hellenistic period, had a defining influence on those identified as Aesthetes and Decadents , particularly Walter Pater and his occasional disciple Oscar Wilde . Most of the philosopher's beliefs about art, the soul, and educationwhich survive only in several letters and a collection of maxims are adapted to nineteenth-century Decadent ideals in Pater's Marius the Epicurean (and, in a more diffused way, in Appreciations ). His thoughts also inform Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray A survey of Epicurus's philosophy helps complete the picture of what the Aesthetes believed and allowed to influence their work. Pleasure and Taste "Sense Perception," "Wholeness," and the Soul In Appreciations , Pater quotes Gustave Flaubert: There are no beautiful thoughts without beautiful forms, and conversely. As it is impossible to extract from a physical body the qualities which really constitute it without reducing it to a hollow abstraction, in a word, without destroying it; just so it is impossible to detach the form from the idea, for the idea only exists by virtue of its form (28). Flaubert and Pater concern themselves with "wholeness" of being; both believe strongly that the object must be studied in its entirety, or else it is not the object that is being considered, but a fragment that has no meaningful relationship with the whole. To use the example that Oscar Wilde paints in

11. Epicurus - Letter To Menoeceus epicurus. In this letter, epicurus summarizes his ethical doctrines epicurus toMenoeceus, greetings Return to the epicurus Epicurean Philosophy home page. http://www.epicurus.net/menoeceus.html

Letter to Menoeceus Epicurus In this letter, Epicurus summarizes his ethical doctrines: Epicurus to Menoeceus, greetings: Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more. Therefore, both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom, the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed towards attaining it. Accustom yourself to believing that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply the capacity for sensation, and death is the privation of all sentience; therefore a correct understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life a limitless time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality. For life has no terrors for him who has thoroughly understood that there are no terrors for him in ceasing to live. Foolish, therefore, is the man who says that he fears death, not because it will pain when it comes, but because it pains in the prospect. Whatever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke Epicurus 341-270 BCE Life and Works Epicureanism Bibliography ... Internet Sources Epicurus was born in the Greek colony on Samos, but spent most of his active life in Athens, where he founded yet another school of philosophy. At "the Garden," Epicurus and his friends lived out their ideals for human life, talking about philosophical issues but deliberately detaching themselves from active involvement in social affairs. Epicurus whole-heartedly adopted the atomism of Leucippus and Democritus physical interactions among minute indestructible particles . As they fall toward the center of the earth, atoms swerve from their paths to collide with each other and form temporary compound beings. There is no necessity anagkh In his Letter to Menoeceus and Principle Doctrines , Epicurus discussed the consequences of this view for the human attempt to achieve happiness . Since death is a total annihilation that cannot be experienced, in our present lives we need only live a simple life and seek always to avoid physical pain . It is pleasure ataraxia [ataraxia] Recommended Reading: Primary sources: The Essential Epicurus: Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Fragments

The Principal Doctrines of Epicurus Below are the webmaster's favorite translations for each of Epicurus' Principal Doctrines, also known as his "Sovran Maxims," which comes down to us from the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laërtius That which is happy and imperishable, neither has trouble itself, nor does it cause trouble for anyone else; therefore, it is not subject to feelings of either anger or indebtedness; for these feelings only exist in what is weak. Death is nothing to us; for that which has been dispersed into elements experiences no sensations, and that which has no sensation is nothing to us. The extent of pleasure reaches its maximum at the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together. Continuous bodily pain does not last long; instead, pain, if extreme, is present a very short time, and even that degree of pain which slightly exceeds bodily pleasure does not last for many days at once. Even diseases of long duration allow an excess of bodily pleasure over pain. It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.

18. Epicuro: Lettera Sulla Felicità Original text of epicurus' Letter to Menoecius in jpeg format (pictures). http://www.amicus.it/libri/epicuro/

Introduzione Un pensiero per la vita, solo per la vita. Un filosofo veramente amico che da ventitré secoli non cessa di dirci che non può esistere autentica felicità senza il piacere. Un pensiero che, contrariamente a tanti altri, non ha mai fatto e non può fare male a nessuno, che invita ad amare se stessi e soprattutto a rispettarsi, azione primaria per non danneggiare i nostri simili. Uno fra i pensatori più amati e odiati di tutti i tempi, senz'altro il più mistificato, equivocato, vilipeso, il cui pensiero è come un incubo nella storia del cristianesimo. La Lettera a Meneceo, qui proposta in una traduzione che punta a restituirci l'affabilità della voce di un uomo che pose l'amicizia al di sopra di tutto, è uno dei pochissimi scritti di Epicuro che non siano stati distrutti nel corso della storia dell'odio ideologico Lettera sulla felicità (a Meneceo) Traduzione in italiano Lettera in lingua originale Meneceo, Indice LIBRI
