[PU: Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press.], XVII, 206 S. / p. 15,2 x 2,0 x 22,9 cm, Taschenbuch / Paperback. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) - Neuwertiger Zustand / Mint condition - Stempel auf Fußschnitt / Mark on foot edge - Klappentext / Blurb: This introduction to Epicureanism offers students and general readers a clear exposition of the central tenets of a dominant philosophy of the Hellenistic period. Founded by Epicurus of Samos (c. 341-270 bce), this school of thought holds that for a human being the greatest good is to attain tranquility—freedom from fear and bodily pain—by seeking to understand the workings of the world and the limits of our desires. Tim O’Keefe provides an extended exegesis of the arguments that support Epicurean philosophical positions, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, and shows how the different areas of Epicurean inquiry come together to make a whole. Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of Epicurus’ metaphysics, Part 2 explores his epistemology, and Part 3 examines his ethics. Lucid, witty, and entertaining, Epicureanism wears its knowledge lightly while offering a wealth of stimulating and humorous thought experiments and examples.
