Description
Epicureanism is commonly regarded as the refined satisfaction of physical desires. Epicurus (ca. 341-271 B. C. ) founded one of the most famous and influential philosophical schools of antiquity. In these remains of his vast output of scientific and ethical writings, we can trace Epicurus' views on atomism, physical sensation, duty, morality, the soul, and the nature of the gods.
