Epicureanism is a philosophical system founded by the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–270 BCE). It is a form of hedonism, which asserts that the pursuit of pleasure and happiness is the primary goal of human life. However, Epicurus emphasized a more nuanced understanding of pleasure, advocating for the pursuit of higher, more sustainable pleasures over transient or sensual ones.
