Epicurus Is Epicurus' philosophy of pleasure self-defeating? Asked by Tiphareth 15 years ago 2/21/2010 6:25 PM Last updated by anonymous 15 years ago 9/2/2010 1:46 AM
No. Epicurus lived a very simple life, valuing friends, family, and an analyzed life above all else. This was pleasure to him and his people. The key is to see it as pleasure.
