Epicureanism
In a way we today live it kind of hard to find one thing to actually believe. There are so many things that maybe true in other philosophies of living. It’s like going to a burger place and choosing one burger, but the burger has onions or tomatoes on it. Now you have chosen the belief but you don’t want everything that comes with it. Picking Epicureanism and its factors are kind of hard to live by, I mean when it was came up with the greed in the world wasn’t exactly like it is right now. Picking a belief and sticking to it hard enough so abiding by every rule is even harder. Epicureanism may have many pro’s but also some cons, there are some things that need o added due to the changes in the way things are done.

Pleasure is the highest proper aim of a human life. Epicurus believed that complaining is very unworthy to human beings. The form of philosophy frees human of fears and anxiety that hinder the happiness we can achieve, maximizing the pleasure in life. There are some pains that can’t be avoided in life such as death and illness, but Epicurus explains that the pain is only temporary. But because of what is believed such as the god and the beliefs about death, the pain never goes away. These beliefs are false in the eyes of Epicurus, merely misled myths are what they are called. Myths that permeate the cults of a popular religion. Myths that there are Gods in the world poking around in the world making things happen according to the wishes we make. Because the Gods of the world are very unpredictable, meaning it isn’t know when were are going to feel the wrath, it leaves us anxious to know what is next. The fears of Gods are the most intent spoilers of

    In the “Letter to Menoeceus”, Epicurus argues that pleasure is the only essential good that people seek. He argues that pleasure is the only thing that people should pursue for its own sake. In this paper, I will make that the argument that pleasure or pain’s absence are not the only things worth pursuing for their own sake. Epicurus—a psychological hedonist—argues that “the end of all our actions is to be free of pain and fear” (Epicurus, par. 6). To summarize his argument, he states that pleasure is the ultimate result of all of our actions.…

    The ethical theories of both Aristotle and Epictetus, laid out in their books the Nicomachean Ethics and the Enchiridion, respectively, offer humanity insight into the most effective ways to achieve happiness and to exhibit virtue. Aristotle’s approach to happiness is that it must be looked at as the end to a means not as a means to an end. He feels that happiness should be viewed as the highest good within life. Although Epictetus agrees that happiness is the highest attainable good, he believes that the source of humanity’s misery is people’s inability to differentiate between what they can control and what they cannot. While both philosopher’s theories emphasize the importance of happiness and virtue in a person’s life, Epictetus’ view…

    So, according to Epicurus, religion only instills fear and pain obstructing them of happiness. In broad sense, Epicurus was a hedonist. He believed that the pleasure is the highest good. But Epicurean hedonism was a little different than just vulgar hedonism.…

    In Epicurean philosophy, one can be unafraid of “death” because “death” is not the process of dying not the moment of death, both of which can be both physically and mentally damaging. “Death” instead means the act of being dead. If we believe that death involves no pleasure or pain and that the only thing in life that is bad is pain, then we can reason that death is not bad, since it doesn’t involve pain. Also, the disregard of death doesn’t imply an indifference to life. If finding pleasure is the purpose to one’s life, and one must be alive to experience pleasure,…

    Some of Epictetus’ advice is sound and would benefit a lot of people if it were followed, but I personally do not think that it can be followed. When someone close to us dies, it is only natural to mourn that person’s death. When someone mocks you, we feel hurt and embarrassed. To flourish in my opinion is to be completely stress free, but also living as a human being. Epictetus makes it seem like the only way to have a flourishing life is basically to become a robot that feels no emotion.…

    That is why an appropriate characterization of Epicureanism is “rid yourself of false beliefs” because if you do than you will be able to achieve pleasure and ultimately happiness. Epicureanism is an interesting eudaimonia because it requires pleasure in order to live a good life but it is a eudaimonia no less than any other. Eudaimonia is defined as a right action that leads to a well being of an individual. Almost all ancient philosophers agree that happiness or virtue is the ultimate state of wellbeing. Epicureanism teaches a way to achieve happiness or virtue through pleasure and if happiness can be achieved through pleasure than the person is virtuous and in a state of…

    To be free we must conform our will to the rationally governed universe. To be free we must challenge our emotion with philosophy. It is significant to note that Seneca does not admonish against feeling emotion altogether as he clarifies, “our wise man feels his troubles but overcomes them, while their wise man does not even feel them”(Letter XI), rather he advocates appropriate emotional response through applying rationality. In this quote, he speaks on the differences between Epicureanism and Stoicism, which he does often throughout his letters. Though Seneca defends Stoicism avidly, he welcomes truth and embraces philosophy separate from his own, which models the pursuit and application of philosophy, common property to all, in…

    Epictetus's View Of Death

    • 588 Words
    • 3 Pages

    1. Epicurus has a different view of death in the way that since death is not a sensation, we should not fear death. He believed that the good life consists in simple but deep pleasures and the absence of pain, in an attitude of imperturbable emotional tranquility. We should seek pleasure in conversation, friendship, a good but simple diet, and a prudent life (Pojman and Vaughn, 2014, pg. 538). He also thought that death is nothing to us, since long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist.…

    His claim to readers is if they follow the rules and guidelines from the scenarios, they would achieve power and be freed from suffering. In a few of these scenarios, Epictetus reveals stoic advice that is highly reasonable and would actually apply to life well, others however seem extreme and unbelievable. The first example of advice that I would accept is from the first scenario in the book. Epictetus states in the first sentence “some things are up to us and some are not up to us,” in this he is conveying to the reader that we must accept what we have, such as control over our mind, but not our bodies (Epictetus, 11).…

    When it comes to the suffering of not getting what one’s desire is, Epictetus would tell us that we exert control over our own desires and should demand that things happen as they occur rather than how we wish them to occur. Regardless of the amount of effort you exert in the hopes of being happy or rich in this life it is impossible to achieve, unless your actions in past lives have generated that possibility. This suffering is more of an existential suffering- the dissatisfaction, isolation, and distress that occur from the awareness of our own mortality; this simple suffering we get when we do not attain what we desire leads to this existential suffering. Epictetus would advise that although one can not control what happens in the world,…

    Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond individual’s control; everyone should accept everything that happens in daily life. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline. Different from Christianity, Stoicism…

    The view of happiness as well as the role that pleasures and desires play in achieving happiness can be seen throughout Western philosophy. Detailing a hypothetical dinner conversation between Aristotle, Epicurus, Hobbes, and Epictetus, will such an understanding be described. In such an account, I will be detailing: what issue/s each guest would raise; what thesis would each defend, and how each would respond to the other; as well as who is most likely to disagree with whom and on which points, and who, on the other hand, might find allies or sympathizers. Each philosopher defines/views happiness differently. Aristotle defines happiness as an activity of the soul in accordance to virtue and reason.…

    Happiness is sometimes equated with pleasure, although this may be sufficient for animals, for human life one must strive for a divine sense of true happiness that is not the direct result of a single action. Aristotle makes the argument that pleasure is something that even animals can experience, this proving that there is no distinction between human life. For this reason, Aristotle believes that someone who simply strives for pleasure as the highest good is slavish and like a fatted cattle. As pleasures themselves change throughout one’s actions, it is important that one dedicates themselves to excelling and being virtuous, as being virtuous in itself becomes pleasurable. Although pleasure is still an important factor in excelling and living well, it is not the primary goal nor the highest good one can achieve.…

    What is the good life? Many philosophers believe that they know what a good life is, what it consists of and how the good life can be reached. Lucretius, a Roman philosopher who followed the idea of Epicureanism, believed that simple pleasures and avoiding pain is happiness which leads to the good life opposed to Epictetus, a Greek philosopher who followed the idea of Stoicism, believed that one should never desire or seek pleasure whatsoever. Although Epicureanism may sound similar to Epictetus, the founder of this system of philosophy was actually Epicurus, who was Lucretius' role model. His philosophy "proposed that the ultimate goal of human life was happiness, and that the greatest good was to seek modest pleasures in order to attain a…
