Wisdom and non-political involvement in Epicurus’ thought

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

Among the letters and fragments preserved of Epicurus’ thought, it is clear that he believes that the wise man must live apart from political involvement (SV 58, fr. 8). On the other hand, Epicurean philosophers need a community of friends in order to allow their reflections to fully develop. Our ai...

On the other hand, Epicurean philosophers need a community of friends in order to allow their reflections to fully develop. Our aim will be to evaluate the way in which the modulations of Epicurus’ supposed apolitical position must be understood, in conjunction with philia. We shall propose that among Epicurus’ concerns was not that of establishing the kind of link that must exist between the community of friendship and the polis as a whole, and that he simply aims to point out the harm that an active political involvement causes to the wise man, and to give some indications on how to remain involved with the polis, but only insofar as it is convenient to preserve his ataraxía. Entre las cartas y fragmentos conservados de Epicuro queda claro que, en su concepción, el sabio debe apartarse de la vida política (SV 58, fr.8). Por otro lado, los filósofos necesitan de una comunidad de amistad en el marco de la cual sus reflexiones se desarrollen máximamente. Nos ocuparemos aquí de revisar la manera en que deben entenderse las modulaciones de la pretendida apoliticidad, en conjunción con la philía. Propondremos que, entre las preocupaciones de Epicuro, no estuvo la el esclarecer el tipo de vínculo que debe haber entre la comunidad de amistad y la pólis en su conjunto, procurando sólo señalar el perjuicio que causa al sabio este último ámbito, y algunas vías por las cuales puede mantener su relación con él, en orden de favorecer su tranquilidad. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9588 10.34096/afc.i33.9588 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9588/8460 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/9588/8468 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 1 Núm. 33 (2020): La antigüedad grecolatina en perspectiva interdisciplinaria (Analía Sapere, coord.); 101-112 2362-4841 0325-1721 Epicurus friendship politics ataraxía wisdom Epicuro amistad política ataraxía prudencia Wisdom and non-political involvement in Epicurus’ thought Sabiduría y apoliticidad en el pensamiento de Epicuro info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=anafilog&d=9588_oai
