Welcome To EpicureanFriends.com!

"If anyone thinks that he knows nothing, he cannot be sure that he knows this, when he confesses that he knows nothing at all. I shall avoid disputing with such a trifler, who perverts all things, and like a tumbler with his head prone to the earth, can go no otherwise than backwards." (Lucretius 4:469)

    Final (LOL ^^ ) thought on PD10: I think PD10 is a direct refutation of the Cyrenaic position on pleasure. Epicurus and the Garden were getting painted with the same brush as them, and this is a firm statement that "We are NOT Cyrenaics".

    Quote from Cassius

    Maybe it's just me but I see quite a difference between the two approaches

    Yes, for many reasons there really is a big difference. The strong emphasis in Epicureanism on choices and avoidances, and personal responsibility leads to a much better outcome, I think.

    If a person ends up repeatedly chanting that desire, aversion, and ignorance are inexhaustable (by nature), then they are in a sense giving away their power and also stating a distrust in the ability of the mind to reason correctly.
