4 Ways To Practice Epicureanism

Epicureanism is a very practical Hellenistic philosophy started by Epicurus. Although not as probably popular as stoicism, or stoic philosophy, in today’s society, epicureanism still offers an interesting general way of living with unique specific consideration. This video explores 4 different epicurean considerations which might help you in your life. These considerations regard romance versus friendship, food and eating, the political life, and enjoying the smaller things in life. This includes quotes by Lucretius and his poem On The Nature Of The Universe and Epicurus himself from his Principle Doctrines and the Vatican Collection of his sayings.
