Abstract

This article deals with the last will of Ferenc Csaszar, one of the prominent Hungarian intellectuals of his day and editor in chief of the important newspaper Pesti Naplo. At the very end of this will, a reference can be found to the Epicurean ideal of an ‘unnoticed life’. A correct understanding of Csaszar’s own position presupposes a thorough insight into Epicurus’ ideal, which is discussed first. It is argued then that Csaszar did not adopt the Epicurean point of view, but that his position recalls important aspects of the views endorsed by Cicero, Ovid, and Seneca.
