Abstract

Hermann Karl Usener published his monumental Epicurea in 1887. The volume is a collection of Epicurean texts & citations from a wide range of classical authors including Arrian, Cicero, Diodorus, Euripides, Plato & Seneca. The volume includes critical texts of Epicurus' most important letters: Letter to Menoeceus, Letter to Herodotus & Letter to Pythocles, preserved by the third-century compiler Diogenes Laertius. The letters give important summaries of Epicurus' philosophy. Usener's pioneering work represented the first attempt to deal critically with the manuscript traditions behind Epicurean texts. His reconstructions of the texts included in this volume are based on a thorough understanding of the trajectories of textual transmission. Each text is supported by a detailed critical apparatus, & another apparatus records manuscript glosses & scholia.

Abstract

The ethical theory of the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-271 B.C.) is commonly taken to be narrowly egoistic, and there is ample evidence in his writings to support this view—for example, in his maxims on friendship, his emphasis on the utility of friends and his continual effort to link friendship and pleasure. By means of a comprehensive and penetrating examination of the main elements of Epicurean ethics Phillip Mitsis forces us to reevaluate this widely misunderstood figure in the history of philosophy. Measuring Epicurean doctrines against both their ancient and modern alternatives, Mitsis argues that Epicurus' hedonism, when properly understood in its original philosophical context, is a complex and significant ethical option.Mitsis shows that Epicurus perceived, and brought forward in his writings, a series of conflicts between rival, though individually well founded, claims. Epicurus was ultimately unable to resolve these conflicts, Mitsis says, and therefore the Epicurean "system" cannot be regarded as a consistent whole. Looking closely at the surviving ancient evidence, Mitsis reconstructs the wider theoretical framework of particular Epicurean arguments and proposes new interpretations of Epicurus' accounts of pleasure, human action and responsibility, the virtues, and altruism. Woven through the exposition and criticism of Epicurean positions are illuminating references to later moral philosophers, from Hobbes and Mill to contemporary figures.

Abstract

The book "Philosophical Terms in Epicurus" brings together all major concepts found in the works of this Greek thinker of the end of the IV century and beginning of the III century BC. Taken from the surviving texts of Epicurus, the terms were grouped in three sections; those being: physiology; gnosiology and physiology; and ethics. The glossary of terms will be a valuable research tool to aid in the approach to the surviving texts of the works of Epicurus, a Hellenistic philosopher not much studied in the Portuguese language despite the fact that he is one of the fundamental ancient Greek philosophers.
