Hegesias of Cyrene : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hegesias of Cyrene
Hegesias ((ギリシア語:Ἡγησίας); fl. 290 BC〔Tiziano Dorandi, ''Chapter 2: Chronology'', in Algra et al. (1999) ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', page 47. Cambridge〕) of Cyrene was a Cyrenaic philosopher. He argued that happiness is impossible to achieve, and that the goal of life was the avoidance of pain and sorrow. Conventional values such as wealth, poverty, freedom, and slavery are all indifferent and produce no more pleasure than pain. Cicero claims that Hegesias wrote a book called ''Death by Starvation'', which persuaded so many people that death is more desirable than life, that Hegesias was banned from teaching in Alexandria. It has been thought by some that Hegesias was influenced by Buddhist teachings. ==Life== He is said by Diogenes Laërtius to have been the pupil of Paraebates, who was a pupil of Epitimedes, who was a pupil of Antipater of Cyrene, who was a pupil of Aristippus (435-c.360 BC). He was the fellow-student of Anniceris, from whom, however, he differed by presenting in its most nihilistic form the system which Anniceris softened and improved.
