The primary goal of Epicurean philosophy is human happiness. Unlike those who exploited people's ignorance and fears, the Epicureans offered hope and comfort, as well as a realistic proposal for a better life. Epicurus sought to create free and happy individuals, liberated from fears, superstitions, and passions.

To achieve this, he first thoroughly studied the causes of human misery and our mistaken beliefs that cause it, and then formulated his counterproposal for a happy life (zên hêdeios). A valuable guide for a beautiful, free, and blissful life, free from fears and anxieties.
