Epicurus
A brief biography of the ancient Greek philosopher epicurus, and a summary ofhis philosophy.
http://www.philosophyofreligion.info/epicurus.html

Extractions: Bertrand Russell (circa 341-270 BC) 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.

Extractions: Epicurus Amamus Hughes, the coolest cat ever, passed away February 4, 2005 in his home after a brief illness. He is survived by his adoring parents, his human sister Maple, his litter mate sister Demeter Amamus, and his canine sister Elsa von Facebiter. In 1993, Epicurus cheated death and used up one of his nine lives when he was diagnosed with a serious illness and withered away to four pounds. Despite the pronouncement by the veterinarian that he should be put to sleep, Halane and his Auntie Hillary, a student at Emory at the time, managed to nurse him back to health with round-the-clock care, feeding him through a stomach tube. He made a full recovery and, as anyone who ever saw him could attest, had no problem putting the weight back on. In fact, food was one of his greatest passions: particularly turkey, the first food he ate on his own after the illness. It would not be the last time he outlived dire predictions or scoffed at recommendations that he should be euthanized. Goodbye Epicurus, and thanks for being you. We love you.

Extractions: Epicurus Hellenistic civilization Greek philosopher born Samos 341 BC; died Athens 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 , and formed one of the most important Philosophy schools of the period in Athens, named The Garden. Epicurus' teachings represented a departure from the other major Greek thinkers of his period, and before. He admitted women and slaves into his school, emphasized the senses in his epistemology, and was one of the first Greeks to break from the god-fearing and god-worshipping tradition common at the time. He is best known for advocating the pursuit of or indulgence in pleasure with a guilt-free attitude as a necessary moral good . There are connections to the philosophies of Ayn Rand and Osho ( Bhagavan Rajneesh ) as well as Zen Elements of Epicurean philosophy have resonated and resurfaced in various diverse thinkers and movements throughout Western intellectual history.

Extractions: Part One: Greek Philosophy. Section Two With regard to the Epicurean philosophy, it is by no means to be looked on as setting forth a system of Notions, but, on the contrary, as a system of ordinary conceptions or even of sensuous existence, which, looked at from the ordinary point of view as perceived by the senses, Epicurus has made the very foundation and standard of truth (p. 277) A detailed explanation of how sensation can be such, he has given in his so-called Canonic. As in the case of the Stoics, we have first to speak of the manner which Epicurus adopted of Determining the criterion of truth; secondly, of his philosophy of nature; and thirdly and lastly, of his moral teaching. Epicurus gave the name of Canonic to what is really a system of logic, in which he defines the criteria of truth, in regard to the theoretic, as in fact sensuous perceptions, and, further, as conceptions or anticipations ( prolhqeis ) in regard to the practical, as the passions, impulses, and affections. a.

Extractions: For Epicurus, pleasure was obtained by knowledge (freedom from fear), friendship, and living a virtuous and temperate life. Epicurus did not articulate a broad system of social ethics that has survived. Epicurean materialism is presented very simply, but anticipates a great deal of later scientific discovery in important respects. Dalton's atomic theory and Darwin's theory of evolution can both be seen in Epicurean writings. Some writings by Epicurus have survived. In addition, many scholars consider the epic poem On the Nature of Things by Lucretius to present in one unified work the core arguments and theories in Epicurus's writings. Epicureanism emphasizes the neutrality of gods on earth and that they do not interfere with the world we live in. It also states that gods, matter and souls are all made from the same thing (atoms). Souls are made from atoms, and gods possess souls, but their souls adhere to the bodies without escaping. In the case of humans we do have the same kind of souls, but the forces between our atoms do not possess the fortitude to hold the soul forever. Epicureanism is probably the first philosophical school which introduced the social contract, in that the laws established by this school of thought are based on mutual agreement, not divine decree.

http://www.nndb.com/people/792/000087531/

Extractions: Executive summary: Founder of the Epicurean School Greek philosopher, born in Samos in the end of 342 or the beginning of 341 BC, seven years, after the death of Plato . His father Neocles, a native of Gargettos, a small village of Attica, had settled in Samos, not later than 352, as one of the cleruchs sent out after the victory of Timotheus in 366-65. At the age of eighteen he went to Athens,. where the Platonic school was flourishing under the lead of Xenocrates. A year later, however, Antipater banished some 12,000 of the poorer citizens, and Epicurus joined his father, who was now living at Colophon. It seems possible that he had listened to the lectures of Nausiphanes, a Democritean philosopher, and Pamphilus the Platonist, but he was probably, like his father, merely an ordinary teacher. Stimulated, however, by the perusal of some writings of Democritus , he began to formulate a doctrine of his own; and at Mitylene, Colophon and Lampsacus, he gradually gathered around him several enthusiastic disciples. In 307 he returned to Athens, which had just been restored to a nominal independence by Demetrius Poliorcetes, and there he lived for the rest of his life. The scene of his teaching was a garden which he bought for 80 minae. There he passed his days as the loved and venerated head of a remarkable, and up to that time unique, society of men and women. Amongst the number were Metrodorus (d. 277), his brother Timocrates, and his wife Leontion (formerly a hetaera), Polyaenus, Hermarchus, who succeeded Epicurus as chief of the school, Leonteus and his wife Themista, and Idomeneus, whose wife was a sister of Metrodorus. It is possible that the relations between the sexes in this prototype of Rabelais'

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.

Epicurus (circa 341-271 B.C.) wrote the following to a disciple: I understand from you that your natural disposition is too much inclined toward sexual passion. Follow your inclinations as you will provided only that you neither violate the laws, disturb well-established customs, harm any one of your neighbors, injure your own body, nor waste your possessions. That you be not checked by some one of these provisos is impossible; for a man never gets any good from sexual passion, and he is fortunate if he does not receive harm. (Italics added, Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, trans. R. M. Geer, Macmillan, 1987, pp. 69-70) Had Bill Clinton heeded this advice, kept his penis in harness, and his paws off the overweight intern, he might have left office with an impressive legacy indeed. But instead he will schlep down the centuries tied to Monica like Abelard to Heloise except for the fact that he got off a lot easier than poor Abelard.

http://www.geocities.com/siniquitous/epicurus.html

Extractions: EPICURUS BY OPHIYON MUKALYNDA GNOSTOU Epicurus was born on the Greek island of Samos, February 4th, 341 BCE, the son of a lower middle class [cleruch] Athenian settler, a teacher, called Neocles. He grew up against the backdrop of Macedonian expansion and empire building under Alexander the Great, being himself drafted into the Athenian army, in 323 BCE, at the age of 18 [alongside the playwrite Menander], to fulfill his compulsory two year military service, as an Athenian citizen. Later, in the same year, Alexander of Macedonia died, and the empire fell into disaray, and shortly after in 322 BCE, Epicurus's family were forced to evacuate Samos, along with other Athenians, to settle in the nearby coastal city of Colophon, north of Ephesus, on what is now the Turkish coast, where Epicurus was soon to join them, after his discharge from the army. Equal to the political instability of the time, was the passion for philosophy [with the new and rising schools of Plato and Aristotle], that were capturing the popular imagination, a similar process that happened in India, just 150yrs earlier, during the time of Gotama Buddha, when India was threatened by the expansion of the Persian Empire. It would appear that adversity and social insecurity has a fertile effect on the human mind and its quest to understand the nature of existence. As a young teenager [12-14 onward] Epicurus began to study philosophy, particularly that of Plato, taught to him by his mentor Pamphilus of Samos, and his passion for knowledge was to continue for many years after this. Soon after his discharge from the Athenian army, and after a short visit to his parents in Colophon, he moved to the nearby city of Teos, to study under the Democritean Nausiphanes. Though their association was short, and not amicable, for Epicurus was somewhat unconventional and independent, the atomic teaching of Demicritus had an everlasting impact on Epicurus, and for many years he was content to call himself a Democritean.

http://www.galha.org/ptt/leaflet/epicurus.html

Extractions: Previous Leaflet Home Index of Leaflets Map ... Next Leaflet Three hundred years before there were any Christians, the philosopher Epicurus founded (306 BCE ) a school, or rather college, in a small house and a garden in Athens. 'The Garden', as it is called, also published books. His philosophy taught of an infinite universe of moving particles - the one on which modern science is ultimately based. He taught that the universe evolved naturally - no gods created it, nor do they intervene in it. Life cannot exist after death so there can be no heaven and no hell. The aim of life is to avoid pain and experience pleasure, so the purpose of this life - the only one we have - must be to make it as happy as possible. And happiness is open to all. It depends upon simple needs easily satisfied, prudence in all things, friendship, kindness, a pain-free body and tranquillity of mind. In all, a philosophy for ancient and modern times. His outlook spread throughout the Roman world, but after many centuries of influence it was eventually smothered by the dominance of Christianity. There is now renewed interest in it.
