Epicurus

Although Epicurus is a hedonist, he is clearly opposed to vulgar hedonism. Can you find additional arguments for or against the theory of vulgar hedonism? Is it not terribly “ judgmental” for us to claim that some pleasures are “higher” or “ lower” than others? Shouldn’t we just tolerate and accept differences of opinion in this area? Or does it make more sense to argue that there is a natural hierarchy of pleasures and pains?

Epicurus argues that the best and happiest way of life is one in which one seeks to satisfy on the most basic, natural and necessary desires. Do you agree that embracing such a life of simplicity (no honor, fame, luxury or wealth) is really more conducive to happiness and tranquility than trying to “keep up with the Joneses”? If you said “yes,” then are you already taking measures to live in the Epicurean manner?

One of the amazing aspects of the infancy period (typically defined as birth to two years of age), is how dramatically children develop and change in this short two-year period of time. To help you appreciate this change, I want you to find three videos on the internet (e.g., YouTube). One video should be of a newborn, one video should show an approximately 1-year- old infant, and one video should show an approximately 2-year-old child. List the sites of each of the videos and then discuss the following.

What motor skills did they seem to have at each age?
What language skills did they seem to have at each age?
How interactive with their surrounding environments were they at each age?
What change(s) did you find most dramatic between these three ages?
