Multiple Choice

Epicurus identified good with pleasure and evil with pain. This doctrine (repeated later in Bentham) is called "hedonism" (from the Greek word for pleasure) .

He believed that the true life of pleasure consists in an attitude of imperturbable emotional calm that needs only simple pleasures, a good diet, health, a prudent moral life, and good friends. Only good or bad sensations (pleasure or pain, respectively) should concern us, and death is not a sensation, so we should not fear death.
