Greek philosophers on painful and pleasant memories and anticipations. Part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas.
We can remember past pleasures and pains and anticipate future ones. Often these recollections and anticipations are themselves pleasant or painful. And sometimes we can enjoy recollecting a past pain, as Eumaeus claims to do in Homer's Odyssey. James Warren explores what ancient Greek philosophers, Aristotle in particular, had to say about this.
