He quite plainly defined the end to be the life of pleasure, ranking as pleasure that which lies in motion. For he said that there are three states affecting our temperament one, in which we feel pain, like a storm at sea another, in which we feel pleasure, that may be likened to a gentle undulation, for pleasure is a gentle movement, comparable to a favourable breeze and the third is an intermediate state, in which we feel neither pain nor pleasure, which is similar to a calm.

File Aristippus.jpg thumb Aristippus of Cyrene The Cyrenaics were an ultra hedonist Greek school of philosophy founded in the 4th century BC, supposedly by Aristippus of Cyrene , although many of the principles of the school are believed to have been formalized by his grandson of the same name, Aristippus the Younger . The school was so called after Cyrene, Libya Cyrene , the birthplace of Aristippus. It was one of the earliest Socrates Socratic schools. The Cyrenaics taught that the only intrinsic good is pleasure, which meant not just the absence of pain, but positively enjoyable sensations. Of these, momentary pleasures, especially physical ones, are stronger than those of anticipation or memory. They did, however, recognize the value of social obligation, and that pleasure could be gained from altruistic behaviour. The school died out within a century, and was replaced by the philosophy of Epicureanism . History of the school Hedonism The history of the Cyrenaic school begins with Aristippus of Cyrene , who was born around 435 BCE. He came to Athens as a young man and became a pupil of Socrates . We have only limited knowledge of his movements after the Trial of Socrates execution of Socrates in 399 BCE, although he is said to have lived for a time in the court of Dionysius I of Syracuse Dionysius of Syracuse .

To each separate action there is a particular end, namely the pleasure which actually results from it. He differed from Aristippus because he allowed that friendship, patriotism, and similar virtues, were good in themselves saying that the wise person will derive pleasure from such qualities, even though they cause occasional trouble, and that a friend should be chosen not only for our own need, but for kindness and natural affection. He also denied that reason lang el alone can secure us from error the wise person is the person who has acquired a habit of wise action human wisdom is liable to lapses at any moment. ref Diogenes La rtius, ii. 96 7 Clement of Alexandria, Stromata . ii. ref References reflist External links ws s Lives of the Eminent Philosophers Book II Anniceris Anniceris in Diogenes La rtius , Life of Aristippus , translated by Robert Drew Hicks 1925 Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

Sylvester born c. 1100 , count of Marsico , was a Normans Norman nobleman of the Kingdom of Sicily . Second son of Geoffrey, Count of Ragusa Godfrey of Ragusa , second eldest son of Roger I of Sicily , he was not a young man when he first rose to importance in the realm. He immediately seized all the property of the Admiral Maio of Bari in Palermo on the latter s assassination 10 November 1160 . He was then chosen by the king as one of three triumvir s to succeed Maio s place in the administration. His appointment was made to please the aristocracy which, under Matthew Bonnellus , had murdered Maio. Sylvester, though distantly related to William I of Sicily King William I , was possibly a conspirator with Bonnellus. His fellow triumvirs were Henry Aristippus and the Bishop Palmer . When in 1162 William was besieging Salerno , Sylvester and Palmer interceded on behalf of the Salernitan Civil law notary notary Matthew of Ajello to prevent a sack. It was his last important act. He died later that year and was replaced by the ca d Peter . He left a daughter named Matilda who is buried in San Cataldo, Sicily San Cataldo , the foundation of Maio which Sylvester had secured for himself. Sources John Julius Norwich Norwich, John Julius .
