Like pretty much any Hellenistic school, Epicureanism is about happiness. Happiness is the ultimate goal. Epicurus taught that happiness is easily achievable. And the road to happiness lies through... pleasure. Because pleasure is, like, the best thing in life... according to Epicurus.
So far so good, Epicureanism remains quite Epicurean. But that's when it all becomes tricky.
