Desire Classification

Desire Classification is a philosophical framework within Epicurean ethics that categorizes human desires into distinct types—such as natural and necessary, natural but unnecessary, and unnatural and unnecessary—according to their source and necessity for attaining aponia (bodily ease) and ataraxia (mental tranquility), thereby serving as a normative guide for achieving the pleasurable life.
