Also this thread is more about their life philosophies than their specific views on God.

But all "practical" ethics derives from the "theoretical" basics.
How would you describe them for Stoicism and Epicureanism, then?
(and I wasn't talking about ethics, I was talking about worldviews and life goals)

In the same way Protestantism and Catholicism share a lot in common, but are still different.

I would argue that it is hedonism that gets a bad rap as something only about sex/drugs/partying and not thinking.

How is epicureanism not hedonism?

Any thoughts for why Ancient Greek Philosophies, such as these, didn't persist in the same way that Taoism and Confucianism persisted in China?
