Other uses Ataraxia tranquility is a Ancient Greek Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation. For the Epicureans , ataraxia was synonymous with the only true happiness possible for a person. It signifies the state of robust tranquility that derives from eschewing faith in an afterlife, not fearing the gods because they are distant and unconcerned with us, avoiding politics and vexatious people, surrounding oneself with trustworthy and affectionate friends and, most importantly, being an affectionate, virtuous person, worthy of trust. For the Pyrrhonians , owing to one s inability to say which sense impressions are true and which ones are false, it is the quietude that arises from suspending judgment on dogmatic beliefs or anything non evident and continuing to inquire. The experience was said to have fallen on the painter Apelles who was trying to paint the foamy saliva of a horse. He was so unsuccessful that, in a rage, he gave up and threw the sponge he was cleaning his brushes with at the medium, thus producing the effect of the horse s foam. ref Sextus Empiricus , Outlines of Pyrrhonism , Translated by R.G. Bury, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1933., p. 19, ISBN 0 674 99301 2 ref The Stoics , too, sought mental tranquility, and saw ataraxia as something to be desired and often made use of the term, but for them the analogous state, attained by the Stoic sage, was apatheia or absence of passion. ref Steven K.

Unreferenced date December 2006 For Hegel the unhappy consciousness is associated with a stage in the history of the development of the freedom of self consciousness . This stage of Hegel s Phenomenology of Spirit follows after the phase of the master slave consciousness. The three phases are Stoicism, followed by scepticism or cynicism, followed by the ascetic unhappy consciousness. Stoicism, Epicureanism and Hedonism For Hegel the resolution of the master slave dialectic in stoicism , hedonism and epicureanism is not lasting. The period in history Hegel associates with this is from the time of Alexander the Great on through the times of the Roman Empire. This Roman Stoicism is for Hegel something of a false resolution of the master slave dialectic, it emphasises only the freedom of thought. In the Stoic s distancing of himself from the world of desires, of pain and pleasure he achieves a freedom of conscience, but that he ignores the concrete reality is apparent in the unsatisfactory resolution of the master slave dialectic. He is ignoring the reality of the dissatisfaction apparent for both master and slave. Scepticism and Cynicism So for Hegel history shows that stoicism is replaced by scepticism and cynicism. Here again the complete disbelief in society, rather than the reasoned and calculated disbelief of the stoic, eventually leads to a dissolution of oneself. The comedy of the cynic that is directed against society, eventually begins to turn against the comedian. The idea of goodness is seen as completely foreign to mankind. The Unhappy Consciousness In this externalisation of the good from human affairs we see forming what Hegel calls the unhappy consciousness . This, Hegel associates with much of the early Christian era when people turned away from the world through ascetic and monastic life and prayer. Of course, for Hegel, each of these stages is an attainment, the achievement of the unhappy consciousness is the truth of the will, which has been trained ... more details
