I will do so by first constructing the Epicurean approach to the badness of the state of death with several minor clarifications, before highlighting the inadequacies of standard anti-Epicurean arguments operating with counterfactual theories of harm in refuting Epicurus when his argument is interpreted within the parameter of death as a state. Additionally, as Epicureanism’s break with commonsense values is often what…
