In this paper, we show how the Epicureans are part of and transform the originally Platonic ethical tradition of the assimilation to the divine (ὁμοίωσις θεῷ). We argue that a proper understanding of this tradition helps us to understand better the role that thinking plays in Epicurean ethics: Epicurus’ emphasis on and reinterpretation of thinking allows him to reject more forcefully the claim that the best life is a life of unreflective pleasure (βίος ἀπολαυστικός).

伊壁鸠鲁的神学享乐主义

在本文中，我们展示了伊壁鸠鲁派是如何构成的，并将原始的柏拉图式的同化伦理传统转化为神圣的事物（ὁμοίωσιςθεῷ）。我们认为，对这一传统的正确理解有助于我们更好地理解思想在伊壁鸠鲁伦理学中所扮演的角色：伊壁鸠鲁对思想的强调和重新诠释使他能够更有力地拒绝认为最好的生活是一种非反思性快乐的生活的主张（ βίοςἀπολαυστικός）。
