The Philosophy of Epicureanism

Benz and Tef dive into Epicureanism, reflecting on the nature of resilience and the pursuit of personal peace. They begin by breaking down the key components of the Ancient Greek philosophy and describing Epicurus' life. In this week's segments, the discussion explores where friendship, romance and familial relationships all rank and. In segment 2, the guys look at whether the Epicurean desire to achieve tranquility risks disconnecting us from the needs of others. A nuanced exploration of finding balance between inner calm and outer responsibility. The guys finish with another hilarious dilemma. 0:00 Intro 5:55 Is friendship the highest level of connection you can have? 19:02 Can focussing on personal peace make you selfish? 24:36 Moral Dilemma- Do you move to a commune with your friends?
