A Study on the Epicurean Tradition in Modern Political Thought

本研究将古希腊原子主义哲学家伊壁鸠鲁的政治思想解读为正义的传统主义，并揭示其对蒙田、加森迪、霍布斯和帕斯卡的道德和政治思想的影响。这确定了伊壁鸠鲁传统在现代政治思想史上的存在，不能说它得到了应有的重视。

This research interprets the political thought of an ancient Greek atomistic philosopher Epicurus as conventionalism of justice, and reveals its influence on the moral and political ideas of Montaigne, Gassendi, Hobbes and Pascal. This ascertains the existence of Epicurean tradition in the history of modern political thought which could not be said to have received good attention it deserves.
