Description: Epicurus on Freedom by Tim O'Keefe Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This 2005 book reconstructs Epicurus theory of freedom, arguing that the sort of freedom which Epicurus wanted to preserve is significantly different from the free will which philosophers debate today, and that in its emphasis on rational action it has much closer affinities with Aristotles thought than with current preoccupations. Publisher Description In this 2005 book, Tim OKeefe reconstructs the theory of freedom of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–271/0 BCE). Epicurus theory has attracted much interest, but our attempts to understand it have been hampered by reading it anachronistically as the discovery of the modern problem of free will and determinism. OKeefe argues that the sort of freedom which Epicurus wanted to preserve is significantly different from the free will which philosophers debate today, and that in its emphasis on rational action it has much closer affinities with Aristotles thought than with current preoccupations. His original and provocative book will be of interest to a wide range of readers in Hellenistic philosophy. Author Biography Tim OKeefe is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Georgia State University. Since 2001 he has been the Ancient Philosophy Area Editor for the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
