In Aristotle's Rhetoric, the philosopher identifies rhetoric as one of the three key elements of philosophy, along with logic and dialectic.

Hoy tendemos a asociar la palabra «epicúreo» con el exceso indulgente y el simple disfrute de la comida y el vino, pero el hedonismo ligero y la autocomplacencia decadente están a años luz de la vida placentera que perseguían Epicuro y sus seguidores, más preocupados por los placeres mentales y por eludir el dolor incluso en los tiempos difíciles.
