Eudaimonia

the condition of a human being who is functioning well, living in accordance with their deepest capacities, and expressing excellence or virtue in activities that constitute their life, achieved through values alignment and authentic self-expression

Why This Is a Definition

This definition clearly establishes 'eudaimonia' by identifying its genus (condition of human functioning) and differentia (living in accordance with deepest capacities, expressing excellence, values alignment). It precisely captures the philosophical meaning of eudaimonia as presented in the lesson, distinguishing it from hedonic well-being and connecting it directly to values alignment.
