Więcej o książce

Eudoxus of Cnidus, a significant figure in ancient philosophy, proposed an ethical doctrine that equates the good with pleasure, aligning with hedonism. His influence on Plato and Aristotle is notable, particularly in Aristotle's reconstruction of Eudoxus's arguments supporting this view. This work highlights how Eudoxus's insights foreshadow later Western thought regarding the positive value of pleasure, advocating for a hedonism that emphasizes the importance of engaging in intellectually rewarding pursuits like mathematics and astronomy.
