Stoicism VS hedonism

5 posts in this topic

Why these two philosophies specifically, and why black and white instead of some mix of the two?

I would say in a modern first world country we generally live an easy and comfortable life that's closer to hedonism, so most people would benefit more from trying out stoicism.

Which philosophy is more appropriate to embody in our lives ?

A pragmatic post-Kuhnian understanding of science and epistemology, a biopsychosocial understanding of health, a systems understanding of physiology and neuropharmacology, a pluralistic understanding of spirituality and religion, a meta-theoretical understanding of psychology and society, and an understanding of deep ecology and holism.


Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being.

And Here's the Wikipedia page on hedonism:

Which philosophy is more appropriate to embody in our lives ?

    Bro, why present them as if there's a schism between Stoicism and Hedonism? There isn't, just your mind likes to chisel a chasm that isn't, instead of hemming in what is and isn't with your oven mites. A mind that likes flying in mental denial gymnastics like a hamster bike wheel, riding to chase Hedonism with haste into smithereens, needs a bit of Stoicism, to bring boiling toil to simmer to then stillness. Another mind too stone cold, itching for a cinnamon roll, told to hold in those boney base urges, needs a bit of Hedonism, cuz he/she gonna miss the bliss of life and thrive in the wrong way, in deep fried, thick mile sand oil.

   So! Like the Taoists, practice Daoism, cuz they so chill to pendulum switch and balance, symmetry and asymmetry, the D with the T-T to the !D-LIKE A T-BONED STEAK IN A MYTHICAL DREAM!
