ABSTRACT
The concept of pleasure, as expounded by the ancient Greek Philosopher Epicurus, has remained an enduring subject of interest and debate throughout the history of philosophy. This work undertakes a comprehensive philosophical appraisal of the Epicurean concept of pleasure in the context of the contemporary world. This philosophical appraisal examines the relevance of the Epicurean concept of pleasure in the modern context with a focus on achieving inner peace and tranquility. Epicurus proposed that true pleasure arises from the absence of pain and the cultivation of a simple, self-sustained life. Applying the basic steps prescribed by Epicurus, the work explores how individuals in the contemporary world can find genuine contentment and harmony with themselves. This appraisal highlights the limitations and transient nature of pleasure derived from possessions and immediate gratification.
