The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was a pupil of Socrates, but adopted a different philosophical outlook, teaching that the goal of life was to seek pleasure by adapting circumstances to oneself and by maintaining proper control over both adversity and prosperity.
- His view that pleasure is the only good came to be called ethical hedonism.
- Due to the ideological and philosophical differences between Socrates and himself, Aristippus faced backlash from Socrates and many of his fellow pupils.
