In his book, Lampe
The service of philosophy … is to rouse, to startle it to a life of constant and eager observation. … Not the fruit of experience, but experience itself, is the end. A counted number of pulses only is given to us of a variegated, dramatic life … How shall we pass most swiftly from point to point, and be present always at the focus where the greatest number of vital forces unite in their purest energy?
To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.
The theory or idea or system which requires of us the sacrifice of any part of this experience, in consideration of some interest into which we cannot enter, or some abstract theory we have not identified with ourselves, or of what is only conventional, has no real claim upon us.
Notice the vindication of that quintessential Cyrenaic practice: presentism. Being here now is required for this direct and attentive experience of life. It was perhaps from Pater that Michel Onfray took to talking in terms of pulsations in his French literature–notably, in his Sculpture de soi.
This presentism proposed by the original Cyrenaics was discussed as monokhronos hedone (“pleasure of a single time”) in Lampe’s book, and it has its merits, although later Epicureans refute this presentism not because it’s a bad practice, but because it needlessly excludes the remembrance of past pleasures and the expectation of future ones as another legitimate practice of abiding in pleasure. In other words, it is one thing to anchor our pleasure in the moment, it is another one to limit our pleasure to the moment only.
