Epicureus and Epicureans >
I think that Epicurism is on the right track in terms of recognizing, beyond it’s central tenant of hedonism, that the truly important things in life are small in scale and are often over looked. I think that there is most likely a forbearance here of many of the thoughts of certain 20th century thinkers, especially those outside of the analytical tradition. however where the Epicureans espoused pleasure as the measure of all things, perhaps it would have been better to espouse honesty and good faith. Well aside from that there are definitely some seeds here. Grow and Grow.
I am now in an Ethics class and I am in the process of reading a book entitled the “essential epicurus” it is pretty good. But I have read as deeply yet as I should so I will hold off futher coment until such time that I do. I think that makes sense.
I still think that Epicurus has a strong forbearance of the 20th and existential thought, and I am interested in seeing how that is.
Yep so there.
