Greeks say on happiness and pleasure please, read again and again the work that was done by our epicurean friend Elayne. Our lovely Doctor gave us already her prescription! On Pain, Pleasure, and Happiness Second Draft

Eudaemonia is not an end itself. It is the feeling of the well mood that is intuitively engraved within the bodily structure of the molecular of DNA/RNA/ that exists in the inner self and springs from the inner self for being able enough to do the right measurement among pleasure and pain for leading that self along with others, like that self, to the positive goal that is pleasure. Eudaemonia is like a talent that someone is born with it and along with exercises/experiences of pleasures it is i…

Frankly, as an Epicurean, I do not give a dime of how Aristotle used the term of "eudaemonia" in accordance with his dialectical acrobats based on an absolute and universal morality of who is the good man and who is the bad man, along with his logic of excluded middle with the dilemmas of what is good or not good etc. The only I know and I feel is how Epicurus used the same term of "eudaemonia" in accordance with his methodology of the Canon in consistency with his Physics and Ethics. In those "…

Epicurus is dead and does not care if anybody regards him high or low although all the past epicureans or not epicureans from all over the world knew excellent the greek language e.g. Lucian of Samosata. And I, as Hellene epicurean I say with frankness of speech that whoever fights against the word "eudaemonia" fights against Epicurus his philosophy , with the word "hedone" to be used by us now as "hedonic calculus". And that is because, IMO the word "eudaemonia" has been erased by those christi…

Who were Nietzsche, Gassendi and Jefferson ? They were simple men, and they knew the greek language very well as they read greek texts from the prototypes, as well as many other philosophers when they wrote or spoke for greek issues they used many greek words. I fully understand your worries, my friend, on the usage of greek words, since you do not know the greek language, and frankly I prefer your insistence to this, since for someone to have ignorance on something and pretending that he knows …

From Epicurus LTM : We must then meditate on the things that make our eudaemonia, seeing that when that is with us we have all, but when it is absent we do all to win it. It is notable that, in the starting point and ending point of the LTM Epicurus remains on common ground with all eudaemonist philosophies, and then he proceeds to the first principle of his philosophy that is the goal of pleasure/hedone. The Letter to Menoeceus is very carefully structured, exhibiting a deliberate array of subt…

ΚΔ.(1) Τὸ μακάριον καὶ ἄφθαρτον οὔτε αὐτὸ πράγματα ἔχει οὔτε ἄλλῳ παρέχει, ὥστε οὔτε ὀργαῖς οὔτε χάρισι συνέχεται· ἐν ἀσθενεῖ γὰρ πᾶν τὸ τοιοῦτον. Doctrine 1. That which is blessed and incorruptible neither has any concerns on things nor does provide (things) to anyone else so that it has no part either in anger or in favors because all such things exist only in the weak. XXXIII.(33) Σαρκὸς φωνῇ τὸ μὴ πεινῆν, τὸ μὴ διψῆν, τὸ μὴ ῥιγουν ταὐτὰ γὰρ ἔχων τις καὶ ἐλπίζων ἕξειν κἀν <Διὶ> ὑπὲρ εὐδαιμονί…

Cassius said : These are excellent examples of citations to eudaimonia, Elli. It is interesting to think about how it is we might be able to rival Zeus in eudaimonia, which is based on pleasure, rather than saying that we might rival Zeus in pleasure itself. What do you think about that - was Epicurus intending to make that distinction? -------------------------------------- There is not a distinction actually but a description with the usage of such terms that are based on gradations of nuance …

(Quote) I have the impression that Epicurus was right when he said : The removal of pain is an unsurpassed joy i.e. pleasure. if we read medical articles on molecules of bliss and happiness we realize that. So, when you have free time please read again the work that was done by Elayne who is a doctor ! On Pain, Pleasure, and Happiness (Version 2) 4. Endorphin: “The Pain-Killing Molecule” The name endorphin comes from the words "endogenous," which means "from the body," and "morphine," which is a…

The final dialogue from the work "Philebus on pleasure" by the preacher Plato. Socrates.The claims both of pleasure and mind to be the absolute good have been entirely disproven in this argument because they are both wanting in self-sufficiency and also inadequacy and perfection. Protarchus.Most true. Socrates.But, though they must both resign in favor of another, the mind is ten thousand times nearer and more akin to the nature of the conqueror than pleasure. Protarchus.Certainly. Socrates. Ple…
