Description

A philosophical immersion in happiness and wisdom

To walk in the footsteps of Aristotle in Athens is to explore the thought of a philosopher who profoundly influenced our vision of ethics, happiness and the fulfilled life. This experience offers an immersive philosophical workshop, centered on the notion of “eudaimonia”, defined by Aristotle as the art of leading a successful life.

From the outset, the workshop links ancient concepts with modern questions. In this way, philosophy becomes alive, accessible and concrete, far from a mere theoretical discourse.

Philosophy in motion and active reflection

Throughout the experience, participants walk through places linked to Aristotle. Exchanges encourage dialogue, observation and personal reflection. Gradually, the major Aristotelian themes – ethics, virtue, happiness, individual responsibility – take shape through guided discussions.

In addition, the workshop highlights the links between Aristotle, Socrates and Plato, to better understand the continuity and differences between their thoughts.

Visit to the Lycée d’Aristote

The experience includes a visit to Aristotle’s Lyceum, the emblematic place where Aristotle taught. This historic site anchors philosophical reflection in a real, tangible context.

In this way, thought connects directly to space, reinforcing our understanding of the Lycée’s fundamental role in the intellectual history of antiquity.

A cultural and introspective experience

Beyond historical discovery, this workshop invites personal reflection. Participants question their own relationship to happiness, balance and the notion of a successful life.

As a result, this experience is as much for the curious as for philosophy buffs, eager to discover Athens through an intellectual, human and inspiring approach.
