Keywords:

Nietzsche, Epicurus, epicureism, ancient philosophy

Abstract

The frequent quotations from Epicurus found in many works by Nietzsche give evidence of his sympathy for the person and doctrine of the ancient philosopher of the Garden. In Epicurus’ philosophy Nietzsche finds a clear opposition to the Christian faith and moral, and a serene message of an earthly and easy happiness.
