Epicurus Philosophers down the ages have been keen to tell the rest of us how to live and how to be happy. Certainly their advice comes to us with the lustre of intellectual achievement; it is both high-brow and high-powered, but can we understand any of it and how does it fare against modern psychological research? One philosopher who dispensed clear advice about how to live a happy life was Epicurus, a Greek who lived in the third century B.C.. In a new article in the Journal of Happiness Studies, Bergsma, Poot and Liefbroer (in press) explain Epicurus' guide to the good life and then compare it with some of the huge body of work in psychology looking at satisfaction with life.

    Extractions: Greek philosopher who was born on the Ionian island of Samos. Eventually, he moved to Athens where he opened a school of philosophy in a garden that he had bought and laid out for the purpose. He developed further the doctrine of atomism , as expounded by Leucippus and Democritus , including the idea that life exists elsewhere in the universe. In his Letter to Herodotus , he writes: [T]here are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours ... we must believe that in all worlds there are living creatures and plants and other things we see in this world... Everything, he believed, could be explained in terms of natural causes. As for the gods, he taught that they existed only in the spaces between worlds, having no interest at all in human affairs.

    http://www.philosophyofreligion.info/epicurus.html
    
    Extractions: You are here: Philosophy of Religion Biographies Historic Figures > Epicurus Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher, born on the island Samos. He was the founder of the Garden, a school of philosophy in Athens, but his views were far more widely dispersed than that, as the existence of Epicurean communities as far off as Syria demonstrates. Though he wrote much, little of Epicurus’ works survives; Diogenes Laertius’ Lives of the Eminent Philosophers preserves a number of his letters and sayings, and Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura is believed to accurately represent his views, but there is little else remaining beyond that. Epicureanism was often regarded badly in antiquity. Its egalitarianism, with all being treated equally irrespective of wealth, sex, or status, was in part responsible for this. It was also, however, sharply inconsistent with the Christianity that came to be dominant in the Roman empire; though Epicureanism afforded a role to gods, they were not thought to be involved in the universe in any way, and it rejected outright the idea of an afterlife. A very early statement of the problem of evil is also attributed to Epicurus.

29. Epicurus :: Intro
    An important topic of research in the epicurus program is to develop a computationalnetwork framework extending KPNs that addresses these issues.  
    http://www.es.ele.tue.nl/~epicurus/
    
    Extractions: Ambient Intelligence is the vision that technology will become invisible, embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, enabled by simple and effortless interactions, attuned to all our senses, adaptive to users and context and autonomously acting. High quality information and content must be available to any user, anywhere, at any time, and on any device. A typical next-generation embedded multi-media system operating in such an environment is a mobile device that combines high-quality real-time media processing with acceptable usage times between recharges (e.g., mobile phones, gaming devices, pda's). These systems increasingly need high-performance, low-energy compute platforms. The solution is found in multi-processor systems integrating many average-speed and energy-efficient processing elements on a single chip. An important topic of research in the Epicurus program is to develop a computational-network framework extending KPNs that addresses these issues. We aim at both a sound theoretical framework and a programming environment. Important is the study of analysis techniques that provide insight in concurrency-, timing-, and energy-related properties at the specification level without fully implementing an application.

30. The Legacy Of Epicurus
    The Legacy of epicurus Did epicurus liberate man from the fear of God and from the fear of death? Was his theory correct?  
    http://www.allaboutworldview.org/the-legacy-of-epicurus.htm
    
    Extractions: You are here: Worldview The Legacy of Epicurus The most interesting aspect of your moral philosophy of happiness sans suffering is its familiarity. I detect an implied hedonism in many of your comments. I don’t sense that you would agree with the Cyrenaics, who sought personal pleasure above all, especially sensual pleasures. They believed no benefit could be gained from logic or mental cogitation. The only knowable reality in Cyrenaicism was empirically recognized via the five senses. The Roman emperors Tiberius and Caligula sought this reality to an extreme. Epicureans still sought pleasure, but they recognized that the uncontrolled pursuit of pleasure often led to a decrease in pleasure later in life. They made it their goal to pursue pleasure in moderation. They also recognized that pleasure could be attained by gaining knowledge, a form of pleasure that the Cyrenaics rejected. As a teenager Epicurus read frequently the works of Democritus, a pre-Socratic philosopher and scientist who, along with Leucippus, constructed a theory of nature strikingly similar to that of early twentieth-century science. In the 3rd and 4th centuries BC, Democritus and Leucippus described nature as composed of atoms, the smallest indivisible unit of matter. They considered all of nature to be composed of either atoms or vacuous space. Since these fundamental components of nature existed eternally, no need existed to include a concept of God. Democritus was a strict materialist, whose philosophy, developed from his scientific theories, parallels the philosophical views of most scientists today.

    Extractions: Quotations of Epicurus Epicurus was born in 340 BC and was raised at Samos by his schoolmaster father. As an Athenian citizen he reported for two years of military service when he was eighteen. He taught philosophy in Asia Minor before buying a home and the Garden at Athens, where he taught from 306 BC until his death in 270 BC. According to the biography by Diogenes Laertius, Epicurus wrote extensively, but only a few letters and short sayings remain. His atomistic philosophy was later described in the poem On the Nature of Things by Lucretius. The ethical teachings of Epicurus are summarized in his Letter to Monoeceus and his forty Authoritative Doctrines . A 14th-century manuscript discovered in 1888 from the Vatican library included many more sayings by Epicurus and is entitled Pronouncements of Epicurus . Other "fragments" are Quotations of Epicurus from other classical writers. The quote in the

    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.

He studied philosophy under the successors of Democritus and Plato, and eventually founded his own school and community at the 'garden' in Athens. Epicureanism, a philosophy of refined and calculating pleasure-seeking (in contrast to the rival creed of Stoicism with its watchword of 'duty'), flourished for centuries, spawning colonies and followers throughout Europe, only to fade with the coming of Christianity.
