Catherine Wilson delves into the philosophy of Epicureanism, exploring its rich tapestry beyond the often simplistic notion of hedonism. Through her insightful analysis, she uncovers the profound understanding of well-being and happiness that Epicurus promoted, emphasizing the importance of friendship, moderation, and intellectual pursuits.
