Reflections on Epicureanism and the Libertine Life
In a long discourse, the author rebuts Epicurus by quoting his own words and argues virtue fades when happiness depends on sensory pleasure. He condemns the libertine as torn between belief and conduct, and recounts meeting Harry Venter, aged sixty, ruined by intemperance, who laments old age and unquenchable craving.
