This is the first English translation of a compelling and highly
original reading of Epicurus by Jean-Marie Guyau. This book has
long been recognized as one of the best and most concerted attempts
to explore one of the most important, yet controversial ancient
philosophers whose thought, Guyau claims, remains vital to modern
and contemporary culture. Throughout the text we are introduced to
the origins of the philosophy of pleasure in Ancient Greece, with
Guyau clearly demonstrating how this idea persists through the
history of philosophy and how it is an essential trait in the
Western tradition. With an introduction by Keith Ansell-Pearson and
Federico Testa, which contextualizes the work of Guyau within the
canon of French thought, and notes on both further reading and on
Epicurean scholarship more generally, this translation also acts as
a critical introduction to the philosophy of Guyau and Epicurus.
