Reviews

This work analyses the fundamental theses of Epicurean ethics both in themselves, and by confronting them with those of modern hedonism and utilitarianism. This translation is enhanced by a previously unpublished chapter and appendix and offers a restructured and updated bibliography.

Review - French Cet ouvrage interroge les theses fondamentales de l'ethique epicurienne sur la mort, l'identite du plaisir et du bien, les vertus, la compatibilite de l'hedonisme et de l'altruisme, la liberte, par le biais d'analyses intrinseques approfondies mais aussi d'une confrontation avec les theories ethiques modernes : l'hedonisme et l'utilitarisme en particulier. Il s'adresse, de ce fait, aussi bien aux specialistes d'histoire de la philosophie ancienne qu'a tous ceux qu'interessent les questions de philosophie morale. La presente traduction de ce livre de reference comporte un chapitre sur la mort et un appendice sur le probleme du libre arbitre entierement inedits, ainsi qu'un appareil bibliographique refondu et mis a jour.
