Hedonism and Carpe Diem The hedonistic philosophy, which roots in ancient Greek thought, suggests that pleasure and enjoyment are the primary or most important intrinsic good and the end of human life.

The phrase Carpe Diem, cease the day, popularized by Roman poet Horace, encouraged people to embrace the pleasure and opportunity of the present moment.

The approach advocates for finding joy and satisfaction in everyday experiences, fostering a sense of fulfillment and counteract the fear of future oblivion.
