{"product_id":"epicuruss-pharmacy-diego-fusaro-9788869771460","title":"Epicurus's Pharmacy","description":"Since antiquity, Epicurus' thought has been compared to a powerful drug able to cure the pains of the soul that have always tormented man preventing him from living a peaceful existence: but we know that the Greek term pharmakon can be interpreted in its two opposite meanings of medicine and poison; and indeed, the same duplicity animates Epicurus' philosophy which, by acting as a medicine for the human soul, also has the effect of a poison, destroying from within, philosophy traditionally conceived as a disinterested contemplation of truth. The philosophical revolution undertaken by Epicurus as a fracture with respect to all the previous tradition, from Thales to Aristotle, coincides with an inversion of the traditional relation between man and cosmos, between theory and practice: the classic question \"what is reality made of?\" is replaced by the Epicurean question that is at the basis of his philosophical anthropocentrism: \"how must reality be made and how should one understand it in order to be happy?\". Each specific articulation of Epicurean philosophy is subordinate to the task of achieving a happy existence that is in no way inferior to any of the divine realities'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diego Fusaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8869771466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788869771460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimesis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Diego Fusaro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113865523455,"sku":"9788869771460","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20654107-0a93-4ccf-a178-575642234293.jpg?v=1769617649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/epicuruss-pharmacy-diego-fusaro-9788869771460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
