Question 1: Epicurus argues there are three primary barriers to happiness. What are these barriers? Be sure to describe them in detail. How do they present an obstacle to the pursuit of happiness, and how does Epicurus' view remove them?

Question 2: Stoicism is based on the distinction between what is in our control, and what is not in our control. Explain the nature of this distinction, and what would fall under each category. Within this context, what does it mean for one to be a slave? Is this a status that others can impose on you? Why or why not? Along similar lines, it is said that others may be able to hurt or even kill you, but not harm you. What does this mean? What is the distinction between hurt and harm, and how does it relate to the issue of what is in our control?

Question 3: What is the goal of Sextus' scepticism? How is this goal to be obtained? Why does Sextus have a negative view of judgment? What are the modes, and what role do they play in the pursuit of the overall goal of scepticism? List and explain two of Sextus' ten modes, and show through concrete examples how they could be employed in pursuit of the sceptic's goal.

Question 4: Sartre says that existentialism leads one to recognize the human condition as one of forlornness, anguish, and despair. What does he specifically mean by each of these? In terms of the notion of anguish, why would Sartre argue against the idea that absolute values exist? How does his position against the notion of absolute value lead Sartre to a very odd view of moral decision-making? How do we determine on his view what the right or good choice is? How is this different from the way in which we usually engage in moral investigation and choice?
