This volume explores Nietzsche's decisive encounter with the
ancient philosopher, Epicurus. The collected essays examine many
previously unexplored and underappreciated convergences, and
investigate how essential Epicurus was to Nietzsche's philosophical
project through two interrelated overarching themes: nature and
ethics. Uncovering the nature of Nietzsche's reception of, relation
to, and movement beyond Epicurus, contributors provide insights
into the relationship between suffering, health and philosophy in
both thinkers; Nietzsche's stylistic analysis of Epicurus; the
ethics of self-cultivation in Nietzsche's Epicureanism; practices
of eating and thinking in Nietzsche and Epicurus; the temporality
of Epicurean pleasure; the practice of the gay science, and
Epicureanism and politics. The essays also provide creative
comparisons with the Stoics, Hobbes, Mill, Guyau, Buddhism, and
more. Nietzsche and Epicurus offers original and illuminating
perspectives on Nietzsche's relation to the Hellenistic thinker, in
whom Nietzsche saw the embodiment of the practice of philosophy as
an art of existing.
