About Epicurus
Epicurus (341–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher and the founder of Epicureanism, a school of thought that emphasized the pursuit of happiness through simple pleasures, friendship, and the cultivation of a tranquil mind. He taught that the greatest good is to seek pleasure and avoid pain, advocating for a life of moderation, intellectual reflection, and the reduction of fear surrounding death and the gods. His ideas have had a lasting influence on philosophy, particularly in discussions of ethics and the nature of happiness.
