Show Notes
In this episode of "Under the Hood," Sam and Will discuss Epicureanism, contrasting it with Stoicism and showing how Christianity provides a more complete worldview than either philosophy. They explain that Epicureanism, while not pure hedonism, aims to achieve pleasure by avoiding pain and trouble in the soul through a simple, guarded life. This contrasts with Stoicism's emphasis on virtue and enduring suffering. The hosts illustrate this cultural pendulum swing using Disney movies, noting a shift from older films emphasizing character transformation (Stoic) to newer ones promoting self-acceptance (Epicurean).
