This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient hedonist philosopher Epicurus' Principal Doctrines (as well as the Letter to Menoecius and the Vatican Sayings)

Specifically it examines his discussion of three types of desires: natural and necessary desires; natural but not necessary desires; and desires that are neither natural nor necessary, but based on "groundless opinion"
