{"product_id":"epicurus-and-democritean-ethics-james-warren-9780521813693","title":"Epicurus and Democritean Ethics: An Archaeology of Ataraxia","description":"The Epicurean philosophical system has enjoyed much recent scrutiny, but the question of its philosophical ancestry remains largely neglected. This book traces its origins in the fifth-century BC atomist Democritus, in his fourth-century followers such as Anaxarchus and Pyrrho, and in Epicurus' disagreements with his own Democritean teacher Nausiphanes. The result is not only a fascinating reconstruction of a lost tradition, but also an important contribution to the philosophical interpretation of Epicureanism, bearing especially on its ideal of tranquillity and on the relation of ethics to physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521813697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521813693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"James Warren","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482438066431,"sku":"9780521813693","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df3a97d4-8a0e-4acd-8e97-226fb9bd68a7.jpg?v=1715998532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/epicurus-and-democritean-ethics-james-warren-9780521813693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
