If Friendship Hurts, an Epicurean Deserts: A Reply to Andrew Mitchell

Abstract

Mitchell defends the Epicurean account of friendship. I argue that since Epicureans are hedonists who hold that all pleasures are good and all pains are bad, Epicureans would desert their friends in circumstances in which standing by their friends causes them pain.
