Abstract:   (3227 Views)
The concept of happiness has always been a subject of morality and mysticism. It has been studied in philosophy from two perspectives: Epicurean hedonism and Aristotelian bliss. Epicurus (341-270 BC), a philosopher of the Hellenistic period of ancient Greece, considered lasting pleasure as the ultimate good of man and presented a practical method that leads to happiness and is sustainable. For Rumi (1207-1273 AD), happiness is similarly sustainable and does not decline with external and internal factors. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate whether there is a connection between Epicurean hedonism and Rumi’s hedonism through library study and data comparison and analysis. We compared several features from Epicurean and Rumi’s perspectives on happiness based on historical genealogy. The results showed that pleasure from Epicurus’s perspective is lasting and expressed in the end as eudaimonia or happiness (bliss). The goal of his philosophy is to achieve lasting happiness. In this way, man tries to achieve ataraxia by creating limits to his temporary and unstable pleasures. On the other hand, Epicurus’s practical philosophy expresses features that have commonalities with some of the views of Muslim mystics, including those of Rumi.
