Abstract
The presence of Aristotle in Epicurus’ Garden (and, more generally, in Hellenistic philosophy) is a complex and controversial topic. To begin, we need to distinguish between (1) a direct or explicit form of Aristotelian influence and an indirect or hidden one. When I say that Aristotle is directly present in the writings of Epicurus and the Epicureans, I mean that they refer to him explicitly; by indirect influence, I am pointing to the presence of Aristotle in all those Epicurean texts that appear to imply—or make a tacit reference to—his philosophy| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
