Extractions: Epicurus is one of the major philosophers in the Hellenistic period, the three centuries following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE (and of Aristotle in 322 BCE). Epicurus developed an unsparingly materialistic metaphysics, empiricist epistemology, and hedonistic ethics. Epicurus taught that the basic constituents of the world are atoms, uncuttable bits of matter, flying through empty space, and he tried to explain all natural phenomena in atomic terms. Epicurus rejected the existence of Platonic forms and an immaterial soul, and he said that the gods have no influence on our lives. Epicurus also thought skepticism was untenable, and that we could gain knowledge of the world relying upon the senses. He taught that the point of all one's actions was to attain pleasure (conceived of as tranquility) for oneself, and that this could be done by limiting one's desires and by banishing the fear of the gods and of death. Epicurus' gospel of freedom from fear proved to be quite popular, and communities of Epicureans flourished for centuries after his death.

Principal Doctrines by epicurus, part of the Internet Classics Archive Principal Doctrines. By epicurus. Commentary A few comments have been posted about Principal Doctrines.
http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/epiu.htm

Extractions: Internet Sources Epicurus was born in the Greek colony on Samos, but spent most of his active life in Athens, where he founded yet another school of philosophy. At "the Garden," Epicurus and his friends lived out their ideals for human life, talking about philosophical issues but deliberately detaching themselves from active involvement in social affairs. Epicurus whole-heartedly adopted the atomism of Leucippus and Democritus physical interactions among minute indestructible particles . As they fall toward the center of the earth, atoms swerve from their paths to collide with each other and form temporary compound beings. There is no necessity anagkh In his Letter to Menoeceus and Principle Doctrines , Epicurus discussed the consequences of this view for the human attempt to achieve happiness . Since death is a total annihilation that cannot be experienced, in our present lives we need only live a simple life and seek always to avoid physical pain . It is pleasure ataraxia [ataraxia]

Epicurus
Short introduction.Category Society Philosophy Ancient Philosophy Epicureanismepicurus. epicurus' Sovran Maxim X. epicurus, the founder of Epicureanism,taught his ideas from the garden at his Athenian home.
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/bernyks/ethics/epicurus.htm

Extractions: Epicurus "If the things that produce the pleasures of profligates could dispel the fears of the mind about the phenomena of the sky and death and its pains, and also teach the limits of desires and of pains, we should never have cause to blame them: for they would be filling themselves full with pleasures from every source and never have pain of body or mind, which is the evil of life." Epicurus' Sovran Maxim X Epicurus, the founder of Epicureanism, taught his ideas from the garden at his Athenian home. People came from all over Greece to hear his teachings and discuss philosophy. The Garden of Epicurus became a sanctuary from the turmoil of the declining ancient Greece. It is ranked as one of the great schools of antiquity, along with Plato's Acadamy, Aristotle's Lyceum, and Zeno's Stoa. The underlying theory of Epicureanism is that pleasure is the supreme good and main goal of life. Intellectual pleasures are preferred to sensual ones, which tend to disturb peace of mind. True happiness, according to Epicurus, is the serenity resulting from the conquest of fear of of death, and of the afterlife. The ultimate aim of all Epicurean speculation about nature is to rid people of such fears. He also favored passivity rather being active in society. Here is another site dedicated to Epicurus and his school.
Pamela Gordon: Epicurus In Lycia, University Of Michigan Press
Fulllength study of Hellenism.
http://www.press.umich.edu/titles/10461.html

Extractions: Brings to life the controversial philosophers Diogenes and Epicurus. Epicurus in Lycia is the first full-length study of this eccentric second-century c.e. philosopher from Oenoanda, a small city in the mountains of modern Turkey. Toward the end of his life, Diogenes presented his town with a large limestone inscription that proclaimed the wisdom of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, who had lived five centuries earlier. This unique text, rediscovered in the late nineteenth century, has attracted many modern readers. Previous work on Diogenes, however, has concentrated on the reconstruction of Diogenes' fragmentary Greek text and on the information he offers on the lost teachings of Epicurus. Gordon's study offers a new approach to Diogenes and to the history of ancient Epicureanism in general. Rather than considering Diogenes simply as an orthodox Epicurean, Gordon draws attention to his engagement with the bustling world of second-century Roman Asia Minor, and she demonstrates that his historical setting shaped the way he understood and promoted Epicurean philosophy. She shows that Diogenes participated in the fashionable revival of traditional Greek learning, but that he parted company with his contemporaries regarding popular religion and the general notoriety of Epicureanism. In the first chapter Gordon establishes the connection between Diogenes' inscription and the revival of ancient Greek culture in the Greek East during the high Roman empire. She demonstrates that despite Diogenes' efforts to align himself with philosophers (rather than with sophists or orators), his inscription betrays sophistic influence. She goes on to argue that his inscription portrays Epicureanism as it was understood and practiced in second-century Asia Minor, not as it was set forth by Epicurus. Here Gordon departs from the traditional approach to Hellenistic philosophy, which portrays Epicureanism as an extremely conservative system that tolerated no innovation. Gordon examines the text of the inscription itself and makes clear Diogenes' decision to work against superstition by promoting Epicureanism.

The Garden Of Epicurus [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy The Garden of epicurus. A garden near thecity of Athens, owned and used by the philosopher epicurus and his followers.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/g/garden.htm

Extractions: Location and Use In 307/306 BCE the Athenian philosopher Epicurus bought a house with a garden just outside Athens along the road from the Dipylon gate to the Academy ( Cicero De Finibus 5.1.3). Other great founders of philosophical schools had chosen public areas for their teaching: Plato established his school near the Academy, Isocrates and Aristotle taught in the Lyceum, Zeno often met his students in the Stoa Poecile. In contrast, Epicurus ' hedonistic and materialistic philosophy flourished and grew amidst the privately owned groves of his Garden. The Garden itself - apart from the city, a private space, and pleasurable - became a symbol for the detachment and hedonism of the Epicurean school. Nothing of the Garden's layout is known, but its closeness to the canalized Eridanus River must have provided plentiful water for irrigation of its trees and plants. After Epicurus ' death the Garden was passed down to his followers ( Diogenes Laertius , 10.10 and 10.17). We may imagine that Epicureans seeking relief from the disturbances of the city gathered in the Garden's groves for many centuries.

http://www.epicurus.net/principal.html

Extractions: Principal Doctrines Epicurus 1. A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble himself and brings no trouble upon any other being; so he is free from anger and partiality, for all such things imply weakness. 2. Death is nothing to us; for that which has been dissolved into its elements experiences no sensations, and that which has no sensation is nothing to us. 3. The magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit in the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together. 4. Continuous bodily pain does not last long; instead, pain, if extreme, is present a very short time, and even that degree of pain which slightly exceeds bodily pleasure does not last for many days at once. Diseases of long duration allow an excess of bodily pleasure over pain. 5. It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life. 6. In order to obtain protection from other men, any means for attaining this end is a natural good.
