- Raphael Raul’s thread on marriage / children / family
- I am going to turn this thread into an entire sub-forum as there are so many issues involved such as Raphael is referring to in terms of male-female relationships (in addition to all the practical issues) (Actually we probably already have such a sub-forum - will move it there.)
- How does Epicurean philosophy respond in non-political ways to these issues. (Focusing more on our own interests as opposed to the “immigration” aspects. That’s part of the facts, but not probably within our control.)
- What considerations need to be included in evaluating total pleasure and pain factors arising from these issues?
- How do we balance the limited impact on society we can have with what we know that Diogenes of Oinoanda and Lucretius and Epicurus himself did in “outreach” beyond their own immediate families?
- Our impact on the world… Is it possible to generalize on the value of spouses and children? It’s a gamble. Did Epicurus and Lucretius take a position that the gamble of marriage and children is generally NOT worth taking the chance?
