Early Modern Accounts of Epicureanism.Stewart Duncan & Antonia LoLordo - 2025 - In Jacob Klein & Nathan Powers (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Hellenistic Philosophy. New York, NY: Oxford University Press.details We look at some interesting and important episodes in the life of early modern Epicureanism, focusing on natural philosophy. We begin with two early moderns who had a great deal to say about ancient Epicureanism: Pierre Gassendi and Ralph Cudworth. Looking at how Gassendi and Cudworth conceived of Epicureanism gives us a sense of what the early moderns considered important in the ancient tradition. It also points us towards three main themes of early modern Epicureanism in natural philosophy, which we (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

Since then I've had ample occasion to consider the importance – and the difficulty – of the practice of detachment, (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
How to Become Unconscious.Stephen R. L. Clark - 2010 - Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 67:21-44.details Consistent materialists are almost bound to suggest that , if it exists at all, is no more than epiphenomenal. A correct understanding of the real requires that everything we do and say is no more than a product of whatever processes are best described by physics, without any privileged place, person, time or scale of action. Consciousness is a myth, or at least a figment. Plotinus was no materialist: for him, it is Soul and Intellect that are more real than (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
