Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. It is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to eudaimonia (happiness or flourishing) is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain, by using one's reason to understand the world and to do one's part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

This quiz is designed to assess your understanding of Virtue Ethics and Eudaimonia. Eudaimonia, often translated as 'happiness' or 'flourishing,' is a central concept in ancient Greek philosophy, particularly in the ethical theories of Aristotle and the Stoics. Virtue ethics, on the other hand, is a moral philosophy that emphasizes the role of virtues in living a good and meaningful life.
