Reading Letter to Menoeceus | Alexandria
Read Letter to Menoeceus by Epicurus. Shattering ancient wisdom, this radical manifesto reveals Epicurus's shocking claim: pleasure is life's highest good - but not the hedonistic excess you'd expect. His prescription for happiness? Moderation, friendship, and freedom from fear of death. His counterintuitive insight still stings: we suffer more from endless desire than from genuine need.
