苏格拉底的学生，创立昔兰尼学派。认为快乐即幸福，而快乐中又以肉体当下的感官快乐更为真实。但他同时强调不为快感所奴役的理智。
Born in wealthy Cyrene, he was the most pleasure-seeking of Socrates' disciples. He lived in fine clothes at the luxurious court of the tyrant Dionysius of Syracuse, accepting gifts of money and women without shame, maintaining that a philosopher can enjoy luxury without being enslaved by it.
Founder of the Cyrenaic school of hedonism. Aristippus held that the only certain reality is our immediate bodily pleasure or pain; the past is gone and the future is uncertain. The supreme good is the intensity of present sensory pleasure, with bodily pleasure ranking above mental. Yet the wise hedonist masters rather than is mastered by pleasure: "I possess pleasure, I am not possessed by it." This art of riding the waves of desire without drowning demonstrates philosophy's highest rational control.
"I possess pleasure, I am not possessed by it. Pleasure is the only sun: we must enjoy each living moment to the full."
昔兰尼派认为，凡是用未来某个高大上诺言（如追求考上编制、甚至所谓来世大涅槃）而强行克制并阉割牺牲你当下肉体快乐的生活，全都是一种神智不清的残忍愚蠢。这是否直击了当今各种拿‘大饼规划’疯狂消费压榨你青春快乐的社会系统？你在生活中，是否能真正敏锐捕获并珍惜每一个皮肤、呼吸和感官当下的真实美好，而不被功名得失所绑架？
Aristippus was an active hedonist pursuing maximal intensity of sensory pleasure. Epicurus was a negative hedonist, holding that intensity is merely disturbed desire, and that the highest pleasure is the quiet state of bodily freedom from pain (aponia) and mental tranquility (ataraxia).
For restoring the self, is it more reliable to pursue intense sensory stimulation, or to find the calm of a quiet afternoon free from disturbance?
