How to Be an Epicurean

The Ancient Art of Living Well

Beschreibung

Epicureanism has a reputation problem, bringing to mind gluttons with gout or an admonition to eat, drink, and be merry. Philosopher Wilson shows that epicureanism isn't an excuse for having a good time: it's a means to live a good life.
