Over two thousand years ago, the Greek philosopher Epicurus offered a seemingly simple answer: pleasure. All we really want is pleasure.

In this #online #talk, Philosopher John Sellars takes us through the basic arguments of Epicureanism with wonderful clarity, distilling the essence of an ancient philosophy that speaks with increasing urgency to our troubled times.

[This talk was held online by Conway Hall in 2021, whilst our London venue was closed during the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK]
