Recommendations for Contemporary Epicureans:
In this video we look into Epicurean philosophy as a viable way of living in times of globalization and secularization. We analyze the idea of a-ataraxia and the Tetra Pharmakon of Epicurus. A quick detour is made to the Cyrenaics. We conclude by drawing a parallel between our times and the ancient period of Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire where both Epicureanism and Stoicism flourished.
