A propos de cet article

Titles; contents list & preface to front. Epicurus's view on gods, as presented in "Epicurus and His Gods", posits that while gods exist, they are fundamentally different from the anthropomorphic deities of popular belief. They are not concerned with human affairs, nor do they intervene in the world. Instead, they are conceived as supremely blessed and happy beings who live in a state of tranquility, separate from the worries and troubles of humanity. Epicurus suggests that these gods serve as ethical ideals, whose serene existence humans can strive to emulate, but not as beings to be feared or petitioned for favours.
