Descrizione: Cicero criticizes Epicurus for writing a will and thus acting inconsistently with one of the basic tenets of his theory, namely that death is not an evil (De Finibus 2.101; De Natura Deorum 1.86). This analysis defends Epicurus' decision on the grounds that the performative nature of will writing allows the agent to experience personal pleasure by conferring a benefit to a friend and thus promoting the bonds of friendship.
