ESSAY ON: Epicurean Ethics

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page paper discussing the Epicurean view of good and evil (i.e., pleasure and pain) and the part that knowledge plays in bringing the happiness that should be the goal of every individual. Epicurus (342-270 B.C.) maintained that the pursuit of pleasure was not that which could be procured through physical enjoyments, but rather through contemplation. Therefore knowledge can only contribute to the happy life, for increased knowledge can bring increased assurance that the Epicurean way is the true one. Bibliography lists 1 source.
