1 Answer

7 votes

Answer: their differences lie in that Stoicism thinks of long-term pleasure while Epicureanism thinks of living to the fullest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To better explain both terms, Stoicism thinks that it is important to abstain from the pleasure of the moment in order to obtain long-term rewards. It focuses on living properly and morally. In Epicureanism the important thing is pleasure, living life in the moment because tomorrow no one knows what might happen, what matters is the present.
