- This will clear up some misconceptions about Epicurean philosophy which still persist today. He was *not* proposing rampant hedonism as a way to happiness.
Little did I know...I more or less began trying to live this philosophy in my teens in the early to mid 1980's; I grew up in a middle to upper middle class community, where the pursuit and ownership of things was a ridiculous focus and mark of status. In the 80's (at least in my perception) the American culture became further mired in a hollow pursuit of shallow, consumerist ideals. I shirked the lifestyle I could easily have fallen prey to, in favor of what I called "anti-materialism" (goods-ownership materialism, that is)measuring quality of life instead by the same simple values purposed by Epicurus.
