Pragmatic Rationalism

More about the book

Focusing on the pursuit of individual happiness defined as psychic tranquility, this philosophy combines elements from Epicureanism, Stoicism, Empiricism, and Existentialism. It advocates for practical methods to achieve this goal by emphasizing personal control over thoughts and feelings while minimizing dependence on external factors like wealth and fame. The approach encourages personal responsibility for one's mental state, rejecting emotionalism and belief systems in favor of decision-making based on induction and probability.
