Epicurean philosophy and its possible association Within the Greek polis at a civic and political level.

Abstract

In this article, we will seek to account for how Epicurean philosophy does not really seek a separation or total distrust of the civic and political concept in association with the Greek polis. Thus realizing that life in the polis is not really limited or is not totally relegated to the bases of epicurean hedonism. And how this is helpful for concepts such as the bases of Epicurean philosophy such as "ataraxia" and "aponia". For this we will guide ourselves through a bibliographical-documentary review, to confirm the following research question. Is there really in Epicurean hedonism and essentially in its ethics an absence of the civic and political relations present in the Greek polis? Guiding us from his ethics and different edges to get to verify the following hypothesis to discuss if there is a connection between civic and political life as it develops in pursuit of ataraxia and support of epicurean hedonism
