Epicureanism
<p>From Wikipedia:</p>
<p>For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by <em>ataraxia</em>—peace and freedom from fear—and <em>aponia</em>—the absence of pain—and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and therefore should not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.</p>
