CHAPTER

The Epicurean

The idea of nature in flux has a lot of resonance. Anything composite has a finite life span. The more complex an entity is, the more chance plays a role in its evolution. Like epicurean animals, political systems evolve. Ethics, law and government are constructed by us for the epicurean. If an institution is not preventing harm and making enjoyment possible for as many as possible, it is not doing its job.
