Epicurus on Justice and the Virtues
-
-
Thanks for the link Hiram. My read of this is that it is written from a perspective of someone who holds the typical view that "ataraxia" rather than pleasure was Epicurus's goal. It seems to accept that courage to a Stoic is the same as courage to an Epicurean, which I think could not be further from the truth, since "courage" does not exist in the air and can only be judged, as Epicurus would judge it, by its result.
So on the whole my personal opinion is that the article is more misleading than helpful -- though it is always good to go through well-cited material and consider it.
