Epicurus, the philosopher of the Garden

By Christian Soleil

What if happiness were not excess or escape, but a quiet art of discernment?

Too often reduced to a caricature of indulgence, Epicurus is one of the most misunderstood thinkers in the history of philosophy. Far from the pleasures of excess commonly attributed to him, he proposed a sober wisdom grounded in moderation, friendship, and clarity of mind - a philosophy of pleasure defined by freedom from disturbance and inner autonomy.

In this clear and thoughtful essay, Christian Soleil invites readers into Epicurus' Garden not as a museum of ideas, but as a living space, open to anyone seeking another way of inhabiting the world. By restoring the depth and quiet audacity of Epicurean thought, the author reveals its striking relevance to our contemporary anxieties: fear of death, the tyranny of desire, the constant noise of modern life.

To read Epicurus today is to learn how to desire less in order to live more.
It is to choose joy over fear, simplicity over illusion, friendship over solitude.

A luminous essay for uncertain times - and for futures yet to be imagined.
