pleasant life is a decent, wise and honest one. Radical hedonists believe that happiness means pleasure, and the means of obtaining it, do not matter, nor the consequences.On the other hand, stoics support the idea that life should be according to nature, understanding the necessity of what is happening to you, and complying to it. 4 Directing of The science The students bring illustrated oral teaching teacher creates examples on how these principles the contact are met in everyday life. between antique ideas and the contemporary ones. Directing of The literature Led by teacher, the students teaching teacher identify similarities between identifies, along Aristotel‟s idea of happiness and with the Sherlock Holmes, who worked for students, the Scotland Yard, on his own will, European works only for the good of the of literature, in others.Epicur‟s theory, could be which you can encountered in Orhan Pamuk‟s find these novel, ”My name is Red”. One of antique cultural this novel‟s plans, catches the principles. passion for thumbnail art, and the need for the landmarks of this art to remain unchanged. When the rules of European painting slowly enter the moslem world, the Uncle‟s painting( left unfinished after his death), was strictly created for the spiritual pleasure of the character, as any art form is meant to be.On the other hand, Don Juan, belongs to the doctrine of radical hedonists, so that beyond the feminine eternal which he seeks in each and every one of the seduced women, he looks for obtaining pleasure.A character that overlaps the Stoic Theory, is the honest Iov, from the Old Testament, who, after each Divine intervention in his life, said:” God gave, God took, may Lord‟s name be blessed”. Maitreyi, also accepts his destiny and distinguishes this
way from the European Allan, who ends up by accepting his drama, after being exiled from his lover‟s family. Petronius, one of the characters from “Quo vadis” , also accepts death as a necessity to which he must comply, and his suicide, is just a way of avoiding the humiliation of being killed by Nero, who he considered to be inferior from the spiritual point of view.
