From Epicurus to Christ: A Study in the Principles of Personality
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth examination of the writings of Epicurus, the founder of the Epicurean school of philosophy. Epicurus posited that humans seek pleasure above all else as an escape from the inevitable pains of life. The author provides ample selections from Epicurus's writings as well as commentary that explores the Epicurean perspective on work and play, and the costs associated with the pursuit of the Epicurean life. The author unpacks both the benefits and criticisms of the philosophy, which can feel shallow, and devoid of depth in comparison to the other philosophies explored in the book, but also useful for those seeking a practical approach to living a happy life. By delving into the Epicurean philosophy, this book invites readers to reflect on their own values and goals and consider whether happiness can truly be found in the pursuit of pleasure alone. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330503263_0
