Great concise explanation of Epicurean ideas, sir. I can't believe after 9 months this has only had 696 views.
'Ataraxia' is one of the most little known and underrated concepts in philosophy, in my view.
You could bet if Deepak Chopra or one of the other fakers was going on about it, people would be all over it.

I like how you pronounced it "worry" instead of "wur-ee", on the contrary, I knew ataraxia is the absense of stress/anxiety. And "nutshell" is today's modern term for "merely in itself". In a nutshell, the 4 healthy foods aren't too pleasurable, but they're more permanent than momentary pleasures of food, so you get more pleasure for longer. In a nutshell, Epicureanism is anti-hedonist, thus rejecting hedonism and religion, it seeks gain by psychology, stress-free, relaxation instead of pleasure

the way we listen to music can change the world
the archetypes the things we make together without even knowing it
things the goddess weaves
the wispy primordial mist that still lingers
in the tall grass
stoned wandering
flowing rocks,
mixtape cds and
the cali mysticism, ah the wu weis of forest expansion

like! :)

@1awareness Epicurus was a prolific writer, but most of what he wrote has been lost or destroyed. For an overview of what remains, see O'Connor _The Epicurus Reader_ ISBN: 0872202410

Could you suggest me a good book about Epicurus's ideas? One that is understandable by people who have a good general knowledge about philosophy, but no university degrees in it? :P

I wonder what it is about the ancient greeks that made them such great thinkers. Could it have been the absence of Judeo-christianism?

I don't think it was the absence of Judeo-Christianity. The family of Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest philosophers of the modern period, were devout Christians.
