ANNICERIS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 74 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANNICERIS , a Greek philosopher of the Cyrenaic school. There is no certain information as to his date, but from the statement that he was a
disciple
  of Paraebates it seems likely that he was a contemporary of Alexander the
Great
 . A follower of Aristippus, he denied that pleasure is the general end of human
life
 . To each
separate
  action there is a particular end, namely the pleasure which actually results from it Secondly, pleasure is not merely the negation of pain, inasmuch as death ends all pain and yet cannot be regarded as pleasure. There is, however, an absolute pleasure in certain virtues such as belong to the love of country, parents and friends. In these relations a man will have pleasure, even though it may result in painful and even fatal consequences. Friendship is not merely for the
satisfaction
  of our needs, but is in itself a source of pleasure. He maintains further, in opposition to most of the Cyrenaic school, that wisdom or prudence alone is an insufficient guarantee against error. The wise man is he who has acquired a habit of wise action; human wisdom is liable to lapses at any moment.
Diogenes
  Laertius says that Anniceris ransomed Plato from
Dionysius
 ,
tyrant
  of Syracuse, for twenty minas. If we are right in placing Anniceris in the latter half of the 4th
century
 , it is clear that the reference here is to an earlier Anniceris, who, according to Aelian, was a celebrated charioteer.
