Ataraxia
Ataraxia (Ἀταραξία) is a
Greek term used by
Pyrrho and
Epicurus for freedom from worry or any other preoccupation, and for
Epicurus to achieve
Hêdonê, the great pleasure. For the
Stoics, ataraxia was synonymous with the only true happiness possible for a person. It signifies the detached and balanced state of mind that shows that a person has transcended the material world and is now harvesting all the comforts of
philosophy.
