The Philosophy They Tried to Destroy for 2,000 Years | Epicurus | Philosophy for Sleep

The most misunderstood philosopher in history. Epicurus didn't preach hedonistic excess—he discovered something far more radical: that true happiness requires almost nothing, and that most of what we chase makes us miserable. This is the complete deep dive into Epicurean philosophy: the physics, the ethics, the science of pleasure, the cure for death anxiety, and why a 2,300-year-old Greek philosopher might have answers for our modern crisis of meaning, loneliness, and endless consumption. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why Epicurus's "Garden" was a revolutionary community that welcomed everyone—including women and slaves The atomic physics that underpins the entire philosophy and why it matters for ethics The distinction between kinetic and katastematic pleasure (and why most people get this completely wrong) The Tetrapharmakos: the fourfold remedy for human suffering Why friendship is the highest good and how Epicurean communities actually worked The radical social contract theory that influenced modern political philosophy The Canon: Epicurean epistemology and how we know what we know The most sophisticated ancient argument for why death is nothing to fear Daily practices for living Epicureanism in the modern world Why Stoics, Platonists, and Christians attacked Epicureanism so viciously The honest failures and internal contradictions of the system Modern neuroscience, psychology, and happiness research that vindicates (and challenges) Epicurean insights 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:40 The Garden and the Revolution 00:12:08 Atomic Physics and the Material Universe 00:23:59 The Science of Pleasure 00:38:43 The Tetrapharmakos 00:56:44 Friendship as the Highest Good 01:08:58 Justice, Society, and the Social Contract 01:22:37 The Canon 01:36:42 Confronting Mortality 01:55:55 Living Epicureanism 02:11:48 The Critics Strike Back 02:27:14 Where Epicureanism Fails 02:42:17 Modern Epicureanism
