22. Metaethics / C. The Good / 3. Pleasure / b. Types of pleasure

1838	Cyrenaic pleasure is a motion, but Epicurean pleasure is a condition [Diog. Laertius]
	Full Idea: Cyrenaics place pleasure wholly in motion, whereas Epicurus admits it as a condition.
	From: Diogenes Laertius (Lives of Eminent Philosophers [c.250], 10.28)
	A reaction: Not a distinction we meet in modern discussions. Do events within the mind count as 'motion'? If so, these two agree. If not, I'd vote for Epicurus.
