The philosophy of serenity. Tetrafarmacos Epicurus. Sellarus J.

History was not good to the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus: few of the thinkers were so vicious soly. For many centuries, the Epicureans have been called a glutton, hedonists, lovers to live for their pleasure - and all because the philosopher considered pleasure in life. But what was actually enjoying for Epicurus, who urged to be content with small and showing his students the path to spiritual serenity? The book of the English philosopher John Sellarus truthfully and simply talks about a tetrafarmakos - an epicurean teaching healing from anxieties and fears and based on atomistic theory.
