Lets say you are being raised in a culture where everyone is expected to choose a philosophy before they become an adult. The options listed are the most common choices. A very brief description is provided to give you a taste of what each philosophy is like:
Absurdism - finding meaning in life is absurd because life is inherently unknowable.
Cynicism - the purpose of life is to live a life of virtue in agreement with nature.
Epicureanism - Seek pleasure in life by living modestly and learning about the world while limiting one's desires.
Existentialism - the individual is solely responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely
Hedonism - a school of thought which argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good.
Nihilism - life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value
Stoicism - destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment
