Ziniewicz On Epicurus
epicurus PHILOSOPHY AS PAIN AVOIDANCE by Gordon L. Ziniewicz. 1 suffering.(epicurus was physically ill for much of his life.). 17.
http://www.fred.net/tzaka/epicurus.html

Extractions: by Gordon L. Ziniewicz 1. The purpose of philosophy is not to pursue knowledge for its own sake, but to bring about peace of mind and body. 2. Happiness is peace of mind and body. It is tranquillity or undisturbedness (ataraxia), the quiet of a mind free from fear and a body content with natural satisfactions. 3. The soul and the body are composed of indivisible small particles called atoms. All that exists is either atoms, bodies compounded of atoms, or void (pure empty space within which atoms move). The human body is composed of coarser atoms that tend to hold together. The human soul is composed of very fine and smooth atoms that are dispersed, if they are not held in by the body. 4. The universe is eternal: atoms are eternal and indestructible and infinite in number. The void is infinite in extent (the void has no limits). 5. Atoms are constantly moving through the universe forming compounds. They generally move in a straight line, but they sometimes swerve, bumping into other atoms, vibrating back and forth and forming compounds. We cannot see atoms because they are very small and move at atomic speed. We can see things made of atoms because they organize into compounds large enough to see.

Extractions: Epicurianism has two distinct, though cognate, meanings. In its popular sense, the word stands for a refined and calculating selfishness, seeking not power or fame, but the pleasures of sense, particularly of the palate, and those in company rather than solitude. An epicure is one who is extremely choice and delicate in his viands. In the other sense, Epicureanism signifies a philosophical system, which includes a theory of conduct, of nature, and of mind. Epicurus, from whom this system takes its name, was a Greek, born at Samos 341 B.C., who, in 307 B.C., founded a school at Athens, and died 270 B.C. The Stoic School, diametrically opposite to this, was founded about the same time, probably 310 B.C. Thus these two systems, having for their respective watchwords Pleasure and Duty, sprang up within the first generation after Aristotle (d. 322 B.C.), each of them holding a half-truth and by exaggeration turning it into falsehood. The Epicurean School was rather a practical discipline than a habit of speculation. The master laid down his principles dogmatically, as if they must be evident as soon as stated, to any one not foolish. His disciples were made to learn his maxims by heart; and they acquired a spirit of unity more akin to that of a political party, or of a sect, than to the mere intellectual agreement of a school of philosophers. About a century and a quarter after the death of its founder, the system was introduced into Rome, and there, as well as in its native country, it attracted in the course of time a number of adherents such as moved the astonishment of

Extractions: Im a Graduate Student at the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette and am presently pursuing my Masters Degree in English and Rhetoric. My purpose of this home page is to call attention to the history and structure of Skepticism, in particular the works of Sextus Empiricus (c. A.D. 160 210). My area of study allows me to incorporate Philosophy into my course work, therefore, along with the internet sites which relate directly to the subjects of Skepticism and Rhetoric, I also intend embed links to Philosophical pages as my expertise of HTML Design increases. In my initial search for information on Sextus Empiricus, I discovered that the Internet offered very little. Due to this, I have taken it upon myself to compile and distribute (via the WWW) as much information as I can possibly cram into the space allotted by GeoCities. My first task is to place a copy of the Introduction and Book I of Sextus Empiricus' "Outlines of Pyrrhonism" onto this page (Loeb Classical Library, trans. R.G. Bury. Cambridge: Harvard UP, 1st print 1933). As time allows, I will continue by adding Book II and Book III as well. At some later date I will also attempt to add "Against the Dogmatists" and/or "Against the Professors" to this site as well, so if you are interested Keep Checking Back !!!

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Epicurus, Hellenistic Greek philosopher (born Samos 341 BC ; died Athens 270 BC ). Epicurus was born into an Athenian émigré family - his parents, both Athenian citizens, had moved to an Athenian settlement on the Aegean island of Samos. He returned to Athens to serve as an ephebe - a young citizen in military training. The playwright Menander served in the same age-class of the ephebes as Epicurus. After pursuing philosophical education in several Greek cities he taught in two cities in Asia Minor . In about 306 BC he bought a house and garden in Athens. Epicurean Links
Epicurus - Letter To Herodotus
epicurus. epicurus summarizes the key doctrines from On Nature (of whichonly a few fragments have been recovered) in this letter to Herodotus.
http://kat.gr/Kat/History/Greek/Sc/Epicurus.htm

Extractions: Epicurus Letter to Herodotus Epicurus summarizes the key doctrines from "On Nature" (of which only a few fragments have been recovered) in this letter to Herodotus. At a time when most philosophers still endorsed what amounted to a magical world-view, Epicurus squarely places himself in the atomistic/materialistic tradition of Democritus . Epicurus also adds some brilliant and daring insights of his own, notably in his explanation of mental function in terms of the movements of specialized neural atoms and his suggestion that the universe is filled with other worlds where extraterrestrial life is possible. Another important theme of this letter is the role of physical knowledge in promoting human happiness and negating skepticism and superstition: Epicurus to Herodotus, greetings: For those who are unable to study carefully all my physical writings or to go into the longer treatises at all, I have myself prepared an epitome of the whole system, Herodotus, to preserve in the memory enough of the principal doctrines, to the end that on every occasion they may be able to aid themselves on the most important points, so far as they take up the study of Physics. Those who have made some advance in the survey of the entire system ought to fix in their minds under the principal headings an elementary outline of the whole treatment of the subject. For a comprehensive view is often required, the details but seldom. To the former, then - the main heads - we must continually return, and must memorize them so far as to get a valid conception of the facts, as well as the means of discovering all the details exactly when once the general outlines are rightly understood and remembered; since it is the privilege of the mature student to make a ready use of his conceptions by referring every one of them to elementary facts and simple terms. For it is impossible to gather up the results of continuous diligent study of the entirety of things, unless we can embrace in short formulas and hold in mind all that might have been accurately expressed even to the minutest detail.
