Résumé

Does the word "epicurean" make you think of lavish feasts and luxury? The real philosophy is the exact opposite-and it might be the antidote to modern anxiety you've been searching for. In a world of relentless consumerism, digital overload, and constant striving, the ancient wisdom of Epicurus offers a powerful path back to tranquility. This is not a philosophy of indulgence, but a revolutionary "cure for unhappiness" based on simplicity, self-sufficiency, and genuine human connection.
From The Philosophy School, Epicureanism: A Beginner's Guide strips away the clichés to reveal a practical and profound toolkit for living well in the 21st century. This accessible guide is your invitation to the "Garden, " where everyone-from slaves to women-was welcome to pursue a life of lasting contentment. Inside, you will discover: The True Meaning of Pleasure: Learn the crucial difference between fleeting sensations and the ultimate Epicurean goal: ataraxia, or profound inner peace.
The Four-Part Remedy (Tetrapharmakos): A simple but powerful set of principles to eliminate our deepest fears about God, death, pain, and desire. How to Master Your Desires: A practical system for distinguishing between natural, necessary, and "empty" desires to free yourself from the hedonic treadmill. Friendship as Life's Greatest Pleasure: Understand why Epicurus prized deep, authentic friendships above all else for a secure and happy life.
How to Live a Life Free from Fear: Apply ancient, therapeutic wisdom to conquer anxiety and find a stable state of calm serenity. This is not a path to indulgence, but a guide to lasting contentment. It is a philosophy that teaches us not what to acquire, but what to appreciate, offering a timeless framework for happiness in our complex world. Step into the Garden and rediscover a more profound way to live.
