    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Epicureanism A B C D ... Z This term 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. HISTORY 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 Aristotelic systems) as one of the four great philosophies to be established and endowed on a footing of equality. In modern times Epicureanism has had many theoretical as well as practical adherents. In the seventeenth century, when Aristoteleanism and Scholasticism were assailed by the champions of the new sciences, Gassendi (q.v.) selected Epicurus for his master; but he seems to have been attracted chiefly by the physics, and to have aimed at reforming the moral theory so as to make it tolerable to a

    Extractions: The Garden of Afflictions, Chapter VI, §16-17 Epicurus and Marx th Thesis on Feuerbach . Everything leads us to believe that the time Marx devoted to the study of the philosophy of Epicurus – the subject of his doctoral thesis – has left on the final version of Marxism much deeper traces than what is generally supposed by scholars and the mature Karl Marx would like to let show. The Marxist symbiosis of theory and practice does not come from Hegel – it is actually an Epicurean inheritance. However, what happens is that this symbiosis, abolishing the normal distance between the plane of action and that of speculation, suppresses, in both Marxist and Epicurean Philosophy, the difference between the actual and the possible, precipitating us into a hallucinatory crisis where the theoretical detachment which is the foundation of the very notion of objective truth disappears. The desire, the impetus, the ambition – either of the individual soul or of the revolutionary masses – becomes the sole foundation of a world vision in which theory has no purpose, except as a rhetoric stimulant of practical action, or, once any given action has been taken, to endorse whatever resulted from it. Even if the effects of any such action are quite different from what had been expected, there will not be enough critical detachment to appreciate them, and they will not only be accepted but also celebrated as normal and desirable: theory here has no independent value, being reduced to an

That which is happy and imperishable, neither has trouble itself, nor does it cause it to anything; so that it is not subject to feelings of either anger or gratitude; for these feelings only exist in what is weak . . . 2. Death is nothing to us; for that which is dissolved is devoid of sensation, and that which is devoid of sensation is nothing to us. 3. The limit of the greatness of the pleasures is the removal of everything which can give pain. And where pleasure is, as long as it lasts, that which gives pain, or that which feels pain, or both of them, are absent. 4. Pain does not abide continuously in the flesh, but its extremity. It is present only a very short time. That pain which only just exceeds the pleasure in the flesh, does not last many days. But long diseases have in them more that is pleasant than painful to the flesh. 5. It is not possible to live pleasantly without living prudently, and honorably, and justly; nor to live prudently, and honorably, and justly, without living pleasantly. But to whom it does not happen to live prudently, honorably, and justly cannot possibly live pleasantly. 6. [6 & 7] "For the sake of feeling confidence and security with regard to men, and not with reference to the nature of government and kingly power being a good, some men have wished to be eminent and powerful, in order that others might attain this feeling by their means; thinking that so they would secure safety as far as men are concerned. So that if the life of such men is safe, they have attained to the nature of good; but if it is not safe, then they have failed in obtaining that for the sake of which they originally desired power according to the order of nature.

70. A Letter From Epicurus
    epicurus Letter to Menoeceus. Translated by Robert Drew Hicks. THE END. © 19941998by the Internet Classics Archive, at classics.mit.edu/epicurus/menoec.html.  
    http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/epicurusletter.html
    
    Extractions: Epicurus Letter to Menoeceus Translated by Robert Drew Hicks Greetings. Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is 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 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 toward attaining it. We must remember that the future is neither wholly ours nor wholly not ours, so that neither must we count upon it as quite certain to come nor despair of it as quite certain not to come. Exercise yourself in these and kindred precepts day and night, both by yourself and with him who is like to you; then never, either in waking or in dream, will you be disturbed, but will live as a god among people. For people lose all appearance of mortality by living in the midst of immortal blessings.

71. EPICURUS - OVERVIEW
    epicurus THE MASTER OF PLEASURE epicurus is best known for his doctrine of hedonism,that attainment of maximum pleasure is the starting point of every choice.  
    http://www.creatorix.com.au/philosophy/07/07f01.html
    
    Extractions: "Pleasure is our first and kindred good" Overview Founder of the philosophical school, Epicureanism, best known for its doctrines of hedonism and atomism, Epicurus aimed to free man from anxiety of the unknown. Epicurus is best known for his doctrine of hedonism, that attainment of maximum pleasure is the starting point of every choice. Few philosophical stances have been as consistently misunderstood. When Epicurus says "our one need is untroubled existence", he is not suggesting a life of ease. Rather the opposite. Pleasure could be either bodily well being, in which case it equated with perfect health and freedom from pain, or mental, which meant freedom from fears and anxiety. The Epicurean achieved this state of tranquillity through study and an understanding of how the universe functioned.

    Extractions: Epicurus b.c. , Greek philosopher, b. Samos; son of an Athenian colonist. He claimed to be self-taught, although tradition states that he was schooled in the systems of Plato and Democritus by his father and various philosophers. He taught in several towns in Asia Minor before going to Athens c.306 b.c. There Epicurus purchased the famous garden that has become linked in the annals of philosophy with the Academy of Plato and the Lyceum of Aristotle. He was a generous and genial man who lived on the warmest terms with his followers. Although his writings were voluminous, only fragments remain. Epicurus defined philosophy as the art of making life happy and strictly subordinated metaphysics to ethics, naming pleasure as the highest and only good. However, for Epicurus pleasure was not heedless indulgence but the opposite, ataraxia [serenity], manifesting itself in the avoidance of pain. His hedonism differed from the cruder variety of Aristippus and the Cyrenaics in the emphasis that it placed on ataraxia and on the superiority of intellectual pleasures over bodily pleasures. He also prescribed a code of social conduct, which advocated honesty, prudence, and justice in dealing with others, not because these virtues were good in themselves, but because they saved the individual from society's retribution. While Epicurus appropriated much of the mechanics of Democritus' metaphysics, he deviated from its deterministic implications by the introduction of an element of spontaneity, which allowed atoms to form the objects of the world by chance. The element of freedom in his metaphysics supported and paralleled his notion of the freedom of the will. He held blind destiny to be more dangerous to one's

    Hedonism and the Happy Life The Epicurean Theory of Pleasure by Erik Andersonepicurus of Sámos (341270 BC) is universally acclaimed as the champion  
    http://epi.org/people.html
    
    Extractions: Epicurus of Sámos (341-270 BC) is universally acclaimed as the champion philosopher of hedonism, but his actual views on the subject of pleasure are not as commonly understood. Many medieval historians make him out to be a debauched glutton, while many modern ones depict him as a preacher of "pleasure in moderation"or even as an ascetic. None of these characterizations are correct. But the doctrine which he did teach at his garden in Athens long ago is both inspiring and convincing even to this day, and therefore worthy of our investigation. Epicurus advocated a lifetime of continuous pleasure as the key to happinessthe goal of his moral teachings. His great insight, towards satisfying this end, was to identify the limit of our ability to experience pleasure at any given moment. Beyond a certain maximum, he stipulated, it is not possible for pleasure to increase in intensity, though it is likely that the sensations which sustain this blissful pinnacle of pleasure will vary continually. He described this peak experience as ataraxiaa Greek word which means "without disturbance." This is an important definition, because the notion of pleasure is commonly assumed to imply something which excites the sensesbut this is not always the case. Epicurus classified the sensual pleasures as pleasures in motion; they move us towards yet another type of pleasure: the state of ataraxia, which is pleasing in itself. He did not urge his students to embark headlong on an endless pursuit of transitory stimulation, but rather to seek out enduring satiation. This approach is not meant to discount sensuality as a vice, but rather to establish the proper relationship between the types of pleasures.

EPICURUS apeiron, unlimited and undefined. No quantitative measure of it is possible, and no qualitative uniqueness can be found for it since all qualities come from it. In Epicurean philosophy every human being has a soul which requires attention. In his Letter to Menoeceus, Epicurus wrote: Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it, for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul. . . the former so that as he grows old he may still retain the happiness of youth in his pleasant memories of the past, the latter so that although he is old he may at the same time be young by virtue of his fearlessness of the future. Sensations do not simply occur to a passive receptor, for they are modulated, sought after or avoided by the desires one already has. You must consider that some desires are natural, some are vain, and of those that are natural, some are necessary, others only natural. Of the necessary desires, some are necessary for happiness, some for the ease of the body, some for life itself. The man who has a perfect knowledge of this will know how to make his every choice and rejection tend toward gaining health of body and peace of mind, since this is the final end of the blessed life. For to gain this end, namely freedom from pain and fear, we do everything.
