Historical Context
Emerging from the heart of Ancient Greece, Eudaimonia embodies the quest for true contentment. Central to thinkers like Aristotle, it underscores alignment with one's core principles. Beyond fleeting happiness, it encapsulates the ethos of virtue. This philosophical ideal became a cornerstone of Hellenistic wisdom, influencing subsequent generations of ethical discourse.
