ROIG, Arturo Andrés. Body-Soul Integration in Epicuro. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.2, pp.11-15. ISSN 1851-9490.

The concepts of body and soul proposed by Epicuro should be understood as related to his "atomic theory", in which the "Clinamen" thesis and some assertions of his moral doctrine stand out. The Epicurean Garden opened its doors to the woman, following the cynics. Leontion, Epicurean herself, reached the position of studies regent. The common features that can be pointed in cynicism and Epicureanism are explained by the role they played in "Hellenism", when Rome became important as the capital of the empire. Primitive Christianity was one of the religious-metaphysical movements that caused the Epicureanism dissolution, though some of its values persist through time.

Keywords : Body-soul; Epicuro; Atomic theory; Epicurean moral.
