Abstract

In Epicurean philosophy, ultimate aim is human happiness and freedom. Thus firstly people must be freed from fears and disquiets about Gods and about that fabricated frightening fantasies; secondly accept to eventuate everything in the world because of deviations that occur in uncertain times, places and causeless, on falling down atoms. Epicurean Philosophy has a distinctive concept of necessity that depends on coincidence; this concept must be thought to donate very special happiness and freedom to humans.

Özet

Epicurusçu felsefede temel hedef insanın mutluluğu ve özgürlüğüdür. Bunun için insanların ilkin Tanrılara ve onlara ilişkin uydurulmuş korkutucu fantezilere dayanan korkulardan ve kaygılardan sıyrılması; ikinci olarak da evrendeki her şeyin düşmekte olan atomlarda nedensiz olarak belirsiz bir zamanda ve yerde meydana gelen sapmalardan ötürü oluştuğunu kabul etmesi gerekir. Epicurusçu felsefenin, tesadüfe dayanan kendine has bir zorunluluk anlayışı vardır; bu anlayışın insanlara çok özel bir mutluluk ve özgürlük sunacağı düşünülmüştür.
