Par’hèmas, voluntas, voluptas: The Epicureans and what depends on us
Gigandet, Alain
Par’hèmas, voluntas, voluptas: The Epicureans and what depends on us - 2025.
60
This paper compares the principles of voluntary action as defined by Epicurus, whose analysis is confined to the ethical domain, with Lucretius’ theory of voluntas, which unfolds on both ethical and psycho-physiological levels. Despite notably different approaches, both thinkers seem to converge in grounding the principle of autonomy within the causality inherent to reason.
