Series 01, Episode 03: A Hedonist and a Stoic Walk Into a Restaurant...

Pushing ahead to chapters 12-16 of Huxley's Point Counter Point, this episode dissects the Hedonistic characters, the similars "solving similar" AND "dissimilar" problems within the realm of their hedonistic philosophical views, with the subtle nuances in their life philosophies as practically played out by Lucy, Walter, and (now introducing) Burlap. As always, this is positioned against the counter-point of their philosophies, so the hedonism is also contrasted with the Stoicism that could be applied to other characters, possibly Philip. Resources for the episode can be found below. Resources: Philosophies of Life, 'Cheat Sheet' Stoicism, 'Cheat Sheet' Supplementary text, on Stoicism
