Description

The Pocket Epicurean by John Sellars is a concise guide to living a life of tranquility and contentment through the teachings of Epicurus. This approachable book explores the history of Epicureanism, from its origins in ancient Athens to its influence in ancient Rome. Epicurus' philosophy was not about indulgence, but rather about finding happiness through mental pleasures and avoiding pain. Sellars draws on this idea to offer a constructive way of thinking about friendship and our place in the world. By examining the ideas of Epicurus and his followers, readers can gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live a well-lived life. Through its accessible and engaging approach, The Pocket Epicurean provides a valuable insight into a philosophical tradition that continues to be relevant today.
