Why an Ancient Greek Philosopher Might Save Your Modern Life
Picture a garden in ancient Athens where women and men studied together as equals, where pleasure wasn't sinful but sacred, and where the universe needed no creator because atoms themselves were eternal. This wasn't fantasy-it was Epicurus's Garden, a philosophical school so threatening to later religious authorities that they spent centuries distorting its message. Today, we associate "epicurean" with expensive wine and gourmet cheese, but the real philosophy offers something far more radical: a complete framework for understanding reality and finding genuine contentment without gods, without afterlives, and without the anxiety that both produce. At a time when mental health crises escalate and our planet groans under endless consumption, this 2,300-year-old worldview feels startlingly relevant. What if everything you've been taught about pleasure, meaning, and mortality has been backwards?
