Philosophy as a Way of Life: Eudaimonia through Ancient Wisdom
Philosophy as a Way of Life is a group devoted to practical philosophy—treating philosophy not merely as abstract theory, but as an art and discipline for living. Our aim is to explore how philosophy can guide us in our daily lives in the pursuit of what the ancient Greeks called eudaimonia—a flourishing, well-lived life.
The group is facilitated by Steve Chittum, a practicing Stoic who remains open to the practical insights of Epicureanism, Cynicism, and Academic Skepticism. Together, we will examine each of the Hellenistic philosophies on their own terms, seeking the wisdom they offer. Our hope is that every meetup leaves participants a little wiser, with new tools to meet life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
