ASMR Philosophy Class: Stoicism vs Epicureanism
Welcome back, class! Please enjoy this session of our survey of Hellenistic Philosophy. This one examines the broad differences and similarities between Stoic and Epicurean thought. This is meant to be a relaxing introduction to these ideas, but below are books I enjoy and recommend for those looking to engage more deeply. ASMR triggers include soft speaking, flat tone, and gentle typing.
