PHILOSOPHY

QUOTES

· “Live for the moment” · “Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.”

Principle Philosophies:

1. He believed that the aim of life was to attain the highest possible sensory enjoyment. Ex. The highest good is pleasure, the greatest evil is pain.

Contribution to modern day: · “Epicurus developed a system of philosophy and a way of living that deserve our respect and understanding, perhaps even our allegiance. This way of living claimed many thousands of committed followers, all over the ancient Mediterranean world, in cooperative communities that lasted for hundreds of years. But from the very beginning of his teaching mission, his message was opposed and distorted, first by academic philosophers and political authorities, and later by Christians. Epicureans apparently almost never switched their allegiance to other philosophical systems, whereas other schools regularly lost students to the Epicureans. Why? Perhaps because the Epicureans found that their system made excellent sense. But the explanation offered by Arcesilaus, Epicurus' rival, is typically dismissive: ‘You can turn a man into a eunuch, but you can't turn a eunuch into a man.’ Even in modern times, the critics of Epicureanism continue to misrepresent it as a lazy-minded, shallow, pleasure-loving, immoral, or godless travesty of real philosophy. In our day the word ‘epicureanism’ has come to mean its opposite—a pretentious enthusiasm for rare and expensive food and drink. Please have the courage to ignore two thousand years of negative prejudice, and assess this philosophy on its own considerable merits.” · In modern usage, an epicurean is a specialist of the arts of life and the sensual pleasures. · The modern-day terms “epicure” and “epicurean” imply extreme self-indulgence, but Epicurus was by no means a [|hedonist] in the modern sense of the word. · The highest pleasure, for both soul and body, is a satisfied state, “katastematic pleasure.” · Epicurus taught that the way to achieve tranquility was to understand the limits of desire, and devoted considerable effort to the exploration of different types of desire.

PICTURE

Background Information :  · C. 341- 270 BC  · The single creator of Epicureanism.  · The aim of the Philosophy was to liberate people from fear, not only from the fear of death but from the fear of life.  · It taught people to seek happiness.  · Around the year 300 B.C, Epicurus founded the school of philosophy in Athens.  · Followers were called Epicureans.  · He developed the pleasure ethic of Aristippus and combined it with the atom theory of Democritus. He believed that all there was in the material universe were atoms in space nothing else.  · Epicurus managed to get the gods out of the picture without denying there existence by saying that they are far, far away and being gods they had no desire to become involved in the perpetual mess and turmoil of human affairs.  · The Epicureans were also called the “Garden Philosophers” because they lived in a garden.  · They were very welcoming because at the entrance of the garden there was said to have been a notice saying “ Stranger, here you will live well. Here pleasure is the highest good.”

Quotes: · “Live unknown” · “Death is nothing to us”

Principle Philosophies:  1. He Believed that a pleasurable result in the short term must be weighed against the possibility of a greater, more lasting, or more intense pleasure in the long term. Ex. Saving money and not eating chocolate to buy a bike in the next year.
