{"product_id":"the-pleasures-of-reason-in-james-warren-9781107631595","title":"The Pleasures of Reason in Plato, Aristotle, and the Hellenistic Hedonists","description":"Human lives are full of pleasures and pains. And humans are creatures that are able to think: to learn, understand, remember and recall, plan and anticipate. Ancient philosophers were interested in both of these facts and, what is more, were interested in how these two facts are related to one another. There appear to be, after all, pleasures and pains associated with learning and inquiring, recollecting and anticipating. We enjoy finding something out. We are pained to discover that a belief we hold is false. We can think back and enjoy or be upset by recalling past events. And we can plan for and enjoy imagining pleasures yet to come. This book is about what Plato, Aristotle, the Epicureans and the Cyrenaics had to say about these relationships between pleasure and reason.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107631599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107631595\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 10\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"James Warren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947758289151,"sku":"9781107631595","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_adeef14e-b4ef-4807-9540-7ee9b95df7d6.jpg?v=1681520622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pleasures-of-reason-in-james-warren-9781107631595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
