Hellenistic philosophy refers to the philosophical movements that emerged and flourished during the Hellenistic period, from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. These schools, including Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Skepticism, shifted focus from grand metaphysical systems to practical ethics and the pursuit of individual well-being and inner peace in a changing world.
