Unsourced material may be challenged and removed (August 2009) Epicurus Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of Epicurus , founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomic materialist , following in the steps of Democritus . His determinism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Following Aristippus —about whom very little is known—Epicurus believed that the greatest good was to seek modest pleasures in order to attain a state of tranquility ( ataraxia ) and freedom from fear, as well as absence of bodily pain ( aponia ) through knowledge of the workings of the world and the limits of one's desires. The combination of these two states is supposed to constitute happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism , insofar as it declares pleasure as the sole intrinsic good, its conception of absence of pain as the greatest pleasure and its advocacy of a simple life make it different from "hedonism" as it is commonly understood.

It has grown from a single, small management consultancy serving the needs of the banking and hospitality industries to an international network. Our consultancy units operate as a collective group of individual, licensed consultants working within the framework and parameters set by this, the parent company. Individual consultants are selected to participate based on skills, specialized services and resources. Each consultant participates in our group framework, online and off, with support for projects provided via the unit management, primarily, and corporate, secondarily. Clients benefit greatly from this method as they do not have to hire individual consultants for different tasks. Our management brings in short-term work for each specialized task required. Background: Over the years, The Epicurus Group has expanded into a diverse range of work, including publishing (first to publish an all-digital consumer magazine); documentation (preparing businss plans and other documents for business, government and not-for-profit entities); banking services (evaluation of business plans and review of business loan recipients); operating a research institute (bespoke research projects); and a school for online management courses (non-accredited). The parent company serves to organize these into cohesive, smoothly run entities, each able to independently stand, but work in unison with the others for positive results.

Epicurus (341-270 BC) Philosopher from Samos who founded a school in Mytilene on Lesbos, and also became head of a school in Lampsacus (today's Turkey). Epicurus came from a poor family, but showed such talent that his parents through many hardships kept him in school. As a youth he did military service in Athens, and was to return later to teach his ideas. He had many disciples, and they were called the "philosophers of the garden" since most teachings took place his garden. Both women and men were welcome, which resulted in much gossip about the ongoings there. Although Epicurus wrote many texts, only little has survived to the afterworls. We do now he wrote on such varied subjects as physics, love, justice and the gods. One of his basic ideas was that one should try to achieve pleasure and avoid pain through clarity and balance of mind and thought. "Life's fundamental priciple is the satisfaction of the needs and wants of the stomach. All important and trivial matters depend on this principle and cannot be differentiated from it." Epicurus Webmistress V.E.K. Sandels

Principal Doctrines Epicurus Home/Ancient Texts Beliefs Relationships History ... Epicurean Philosophy List 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.

Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more. Therefore, both old and young ought to seek wisdom, the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.

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'

Philosophers > Epicurus Epicurus One generation after Aristotle, Epicurus argued that as atoms moved through the void, there were occasions when they would "swerve" from their otherwise determined paths, thus initiating new causal chains - with a causa sui or uncaused cause. He wanted to break the causal chain of physical determinism and deny claims that the future is logically necessary Parenthetically, we now know that atoms do not occasionally swerve, they always move unpredictably whenever they are in close contact with other atoms. Everything in the material universe is made of atoms in unstoppable perpetual motion. "Deterministic" paths are only the case for very large objects, where the statistical laws of atomic physics average to become nearly certain dynamical laws for billiard balls and planets. The paths of such large objects are only statistically determined , albeit with negligible randomness.
