The concept of hedonism can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy, with various philosophers contributing to its development.

Note: All these philosophies and philosophers try to guide you on how to live in the world, but all these philosophies are incomplete. They don't address all aspects of your life. In case you want to live with the least anxiety and tension in the world, then explore Islam. Islam is the complete way of life.
