    About this ebook

    In "Epicurus and the Pleasant Life," Haris Dimitriadis offers insights on how to find happiness by appreciating the natural world. Drawing from two decades of research, the author examines the views on the good life from Epicurus and Aristotle to the present day. The book focuses on the major theories that influenced human life, with meticulous attention to detail on Epicurean philosophy, followed by Aristotle's views on the core aspects of classical philosophical thought. Lastly, the author explores philosophical and scientific opinions from the modern era, including disciplines such as psychology, biology, neuroscience, astronomy, and more.

    The comparison of the views allows us to understand better the similarities or disagreements of views and ways of life among the most significant theories embodied in the history of thought. The author hopes that readers will discover parallels between Epicurean philosophy and modern perspectives and that they can use Epicurean advice and recent scientific discoveries to improve their health and happiness.
