"The Essential Epicurus," compiled from ancient texts, distills the core teachings of Epicurus, the Greek philosopher who championed a life of tranquil pleasure free from fear and pain. Central to his philosophy is the pursuit of happiness through modest pleasure, friendship, and philosophical contemplation. Rejecting superstition and divine intervention, Epicurus argued for the rational pursuit of peace and the embrace of a simple life, emphasizing the importance of understanding the natural world to achieve true contentment. This collection offers timeless wisdom on living a fulfilling life.
