		Aristippus presumed that there are two basic emotional states: pleasure, which he described as gentle movement, and pain, which he perceived as a rough or abrupt change.
		Aristippus emphasized the positive aspect of pleasure which, unlike Epicurus, he did not regard merely as a state of peace or calm in the absence of pain.
		Aristippus presumably did not have the sexual possibilities conceived by the “divine” Marquis in mind, for the combination of sex and violence played virtually no role at all in the sexual life of the Greeks.

		Aristippus, to whom the fundamental doctrines of the school are traced, was born at Cyrene about the year 435 B.C. This date, however, is by no means certain.
		Aristippus explained his pleasure doctrine in terms which are descriptive of mental emotion as well as of bodily enjoyment.
		We must be careful, moreover, to distinguish between the Hedonism of Aristippus, who by "pleasure" denoted a passing emotion, and the Hedonism of his later followers, who understood by "pleasure" something akin to the Epicurean notion of a state, or permanent condition, of painlessness.

		Aristippus saw herself as a person who for some reason was treated like a cat day after day until it drove her mad.
		She was always frantic, was terrified of the outdoors by day but drawn there by night, would speak directly with humans in a most un-cat-like way, and would make a beeline for any available lap, especially mine.

		Philosopher who was one of Socrates' disciples and the founder of the Cyrenaic school of hedonism, the ethic of pleasure.
		The first of Socrates' disciples to demand a salary for teaching philosophy, Aristippus believed that the good life rests upon the belief that among human values pleasure is the highest and pain the lowest (and one that should be avoided).
		While he believed that men should dedicate their lives to the pursuit and enjoyment of pleasure, he also believed that they should use good judgment and exercise self-control to temper powerful human desires.

	Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers: Aristippus, translated by C.D. Yonge
		"Recollect, then," said Aristippus, "that I, who am older than you, have made the first advances." And Aschines answered, "You say well, by Juno, since you are far better than I; for I began the quarrel, but you begin the friendship." And these are the anecdotes which are told of him.
		Arete had for her pupil the Aristippus who was surnamed mêtrodidantos, whose disciple was Theodorus the atheist, but who was afterwards called theos.
		These men then who continued in the school of Aristippus, and were called Cyrenaics, adopted the following opinions.- They said that there were two emotions of the mind, pleasure and pain; that the one, namely pleasure, was a moderate emotion; the other, namely pain, a rough one.

		The debate between Aristippus and Diogenes is therefore a real debate, as indeed H. himself emphasises (17, 39), not a redundant demonstration of what Scaeva already accepts.
		There is also a link with XVIII: Scaeva is on the Cynic side of the debate between (alleged) complete self-sufficiency and social dependency, just as Lollius (liberrime Lolli) is on the Cynic side of the debate between libertas and scurrari within the context of social dependency.
		It is highly relevant that both Aristippus and Diogenes frequented Corinth, the former 'frequenting' Lais.

		From Socrates,; by a perversion of the doctrine that happiness is the chief good, it derived the doctrine of the supremacy of pleasure, while from Protagoras it derived its relativistic theory of knowledge.
		The Cyrenaics started their philosophical inquiry by agreeing with Protagoras that all knowledge is relative.
		The result is an integrated multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary database built upon the framework of a Great Books Core List developed by Mortimer Adler (1902-2001) nearly 50 years ago.

	Aristippus (c. 435 B.C. - 366 B.C.)
		Xenophon tells us that Socrates tried to rouse his ambition and energy by telling him the fable of the choice of Hercules, to whom the two paths of life, that of effort and that of pleasure, were pointed out in youth by two visionary forms representing Virtue and Vice.
		But the ideal of Aristippus lay neither in the direction of strenuous ambition nor of sensual pleasure, but in that of a man who, while enjoying, each in their degree, the pleasures life could bring, should place the higher above the lower and should be the slave of none.
		The school of thought founded by Aristippus, and sometimes called Cyrenaic, is best represented by Epicurus, whose name it commonly bears.

		Aristippus was earnest suitor to Dionysius for somewhat, who would give no ear to his suit.
		One that stood by said afterwards to Aristippus, You a philosopher, and to be so base as to throw yourself at the tyrant’s feet to get a suit.” Aristippus answered, “The fault is not mine, but the fault is in Dionysius, that carries his ears in his feet.”
		Aristippus, being reprehended of luxury by one that was not rich, for that he gave six crowns for a small fish, answered, “Why, what would you have given?” The other said, “Some twelvepence.” Aristippus said again, “And six crowns are no more with me.”

		First among these comes the system of Aristippus an the Cyrenaic school in general, who did not shrink from finding their Chief Good in pleasure of the sort that excites the highest amount of actively agreeable sensation, and who despised your freedom from pain.
		They failed to see that just as the horse is designed by nature for running, the ox for ploughing, and the dog for hunting, so man, as Aristotle observes, is born for tow purposes, thought and action: he is as it were a mortal God.
		So much in answer to Aristippus, who considers pleasure in the only sense in which we all of us employ the term to be not merely the highest but the sole pleasure that exists.
