Anyone interested in Epicurus' views on pleasure will need to take account of this book. Kelly Arenson carefully and subtly spells out the ways in which Epicurus' distinctive doctrines regarding pleasure have their roots in Plato, and she situates Epicurus' doctrines in the context of disputes about pleasure by students of Plato such as Aristotle, Eudoxus, and Speusippus. * Tim O'Keefe, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Georgia State University, USA * Arenson carefully and systematically sifts through relevant primary and secondary sources to build a plausible argument that the Epicureans tie pleasure (in all its varieties) to proper organic functioning. Anyone interested in Epicurean hedonism as a response to Platonist and early Academic views of pleasure should read this book. * Clerk Shaw, Associate Professor of Philosophy, The University of Tennessee Knoxville, USA *
