In this letter addressed to Menoeceus, Epicurus condenses his ethics: happiness consists in pleasure understood as the absence of physical pain and of disturbance of the soul. To achieve it, he proposes freeing oneself from the fear of gods and death, valuing friendship, and cultivating self-sufficiency, self-respect, and simplicity.
The edition belongs to the Millelire collection and was originally published in 1992.
