Epicure is an ancient Greek philosopher and founder of his own teaching, which was called Epicureanism. At the age of 32 he created his own school. In Athens, the Epicureans gathered in a garden that belonged to him. This is where the second name of the school came from - “The Garden of Epicurus”, and its inhabitants were called philosophers “from the gardens”. Epicurus preached spiritual serenity and freedom from the fear of death. The satisfaction of life's needs was considered the basis of happiness. Therefore, those entering the school were greeted by the saying: “Guest, you will feel good here. Here pleasure is the highest good.” Of the nearly three hundred works which Epicurus is supposed to have written, only fragments survive. The texts known to us today are reduced to three important letters to friends, to eighty aphorisms called “Main Ideas,” and to several dozen passages extracted from his works. All texts are provided with detailed comments and explanations.



The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.

Важливий внесок у філософію та самосвідомість

Книга "Основні думки" є чудовим введенням у вчення Епікура, яке залишається актуальним і сьогодні. Автор вдало передає суть епікуреїзму, акцентуючи на важливості задоволення життєвих потреб та духовної безтурботності. Ілюстрації та коментарі допомагають краще зрозуміти філософські концепції, а також контекст, у якому вони були створені. Хоча деякі фрази можуть бути перекладені не зовсім коректно, це не зменшує цінності самої книги. Я вважаю, що ця праця стане корисною не лише для студентів філософії, але й для всіх, хто прагне знайти внутрішній спокій і щастя в повсякденному житті. Епікур вчить нас, що щастя – це не лише задоволення, а й розуміння себе та світу навколо. Рекомендую всім, хто цікавиться філософією та саморозвитком!
