title="Epicurus">Epicurus</a></figcaption></figure> <p><b>Epicureanism</b> is a <a href="/wiki/Philosophy" title="Philosophy">philosophy</a> based on the teachings of <a href="/wiki/Epicurus" title="Epicurus">Epicurus</a>. It started about 307 <small><a href="/wiki/BC" class="mw-redirect" title="BC">BC</a></small>. Epicurus was a <a href="/wiki/Materialism" title="Materialism">materialist</a> who believed that material was made of <a href="/wiki/Atoms" class="mw-redirect" title="Atoms">atoms</a>. The teaching about atoms was first started by <a href="/wiki/Democritus" title="Democritus">Democritus</a>. </p><p>Epicurus forcefully attacked <a href="/wiki/Superstition" title="Superstition">superstition</a>. According to Epicurus, the <a href="/wiki/Gods" class="mw-redirect" title="Gods">gods</a> are passive: They do not intervene in the world. Epicurus believed that the greatest good was to have certain <a href="/wiki/Pleasure" title="Pleasure">pleasures</a>, and to reach a state of mind where there is no <a href="/wiki/Fear" title="Fear">fear</a> and no <a href="/wiki/Pain" title="Pain">pain</a>. Epicureanism is a form of <a href="/wiki/Hedonism" title="Hedonism">hedonism</a>, which declares that pleasure is the only good there is. Epicureanism says that the absence of pain is the greatest pleasure; it also advocates a simple life. These ideas make it sufficiently different from "hedonism" as it is usually defined. </p><p>Epicurus spoke favorably about the enjoyment of simple pleasures; he also meant abstaining from bodily desires, such as <a href="/wiki/Sexual_intercourse" title="Sexual intercourse">sex</a> and appetites, almost like <a href="/wiki/Asceticism" title="Asceticism">asceticism</a>. </p><p>He argued that when eating, one should not eat too richly, for it could lead to dissatisfaction later, such as the grim realization that one could not afford such delicacies in the future. Likewise, sex could lead to increased <a href="/wiki/Lust" title="Lust">lust</a> and dissatisfaction with the sexual partner. Epicurus did not articulate a broad system of social morality that has survived. </p><p>Epicureanism was originally a challenge to <a href="/wiki/Platonism" class="mw-redirect" title="Platonism">Platonism</a>, though later it became the main opponent of <a href="/wiki/Stoicism" title="Stoicism">Stoicism</a>. Epicurus and his followers shunned politics. Many Epicurean societies flourished in the late <a href="/wiki/Hellenistic_perod" class="mw-redirect" title="Hellenistic perod">Hellenistic period</a> and during the Roman era (such as those in <a href="/wiki/Antioch" title="Antioch">Antiochia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alexandria" title="Alexandria">Alexandria</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rhodes" title="Rhodes">Rhodes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ercolano" title="Ercolano">Ercolano</a>). </p><p>The poet <a href="/wiki/Lucretius" title="Lucretius">Lucretius</a> was its best-known Roman proponent. By the end of the Roman Empire, having undergone Christian attack and repression, Epicureanism had all but died out, but was resurrected in the 17th century by the atomist <a href="/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Gassendi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Pierre Gassendi (not yet started)">Pierre Gassendi</a>, who adapted it to the Christian doctrine. </p><p>Some writings by Epicurus have survived. Some scholars consider the epic poem <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=On_the_Nature_of_Things&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="On the Nature of Things (not yet started)">On the Nature of Things</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Lucretius" title="Lucretius">Lucretius</a> presents in one work the core arguments and theories of Epicureanism. Many of the papyrus scrolls unearthed at the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Villa_of_the_Papyri&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Villa of the Papyri (not yet started)">Villa of the Papyri</a> at <a href="/wiki/Herculaneum" title="Herculaneum">Herculaneum</a> are Epicurean texts. At least some are thought to have belonged to the Epicurean <a href="/w/index.php?title=Philodemus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Philodemus (not yet started)">Philodemus</a>. </p><p><br />
