In Response to Hannah Kenton's "Epicureanism v. Stoicism "

My computer is not letting me post comments the regular way, so for the time being I am posting my comments as separate posts.

I really liked the way that you approached the question posed to the class. Before concluding which philosophy you preferred, you thought about what you are trying to get out of life. You realized that both philosophies attempt to avoid different things, and that people may find the avoidance of these things acceptable or unacceptable depending on what they are trying to experience in their lifetimes. I thought that this was a unique and effective way to go about answering the question.
