Ancient Greece is a civilization that has profoundly shaped Western thought and society.
In previous sessions, we explored its world through the lenses of history and mythology.
In this fourth session, we focus on the concept of Eudaimonia—often translated as “happiness” or “well-being,” but more deeply concerned with how we live and what it means to live well.
Through figures such as Helen and Achilles, we will reflect on the meanings of virtue and honor, and consider what it is to live a fulfilling life.
Rather than a lecture, this session will take the form of a dialogue-based discussion.
By engaging with different perspectives, we aim to deepen our understanding together.
This session is open to anyone interested in philosophy, history, or simply a thoughtful conversation.

Vũ has a deep interest in philosophy, particularly questions about meaning, freedom, and what it means to live a beautiful life.
For Vũ, philosophy is not simply a study of abstract ideas. It is also a way of thinking about how we live our everyday lives and what truly matters among the many choices we face in the modern world.
In this session, we will use history as a starting point to explore what happens when different cultures meet, influence one another, and create something new.
Tea & Thought is not a lecture or a note-taking class. Instead, Tea & Thought offers a gentle yet thoughtful space for dialogue, where everyone can observe, ask questions, and reflect together on the ideas that have shaped the modern world.
If you love classical culture, are interested in philosophy, or simply want to spend an evening having a slow, meaningful conversation, we would be delighted to see you at Tea & Thought.
☕ Come join us for a cup of tea, a little curiosity, and a journey into old stories and ideas that still have plenty of meaning for us today!
