Philosophical discussions were all the rage (Acts 17:21) and looking for what they considered 'wisdom' was a constant feature of Greek culture(1 Corinthians 1:22-25).

Greek Philosophy was common in the days of the apostles, and had slipped into parts of the Christian congregation(Colossians 2:8)

Stoics believed that happiness could only be found if one lived in accord with reason and nothing else mattered.

Epicureans believed obtaining pleasure in life was the most important thing. Their motto was "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die."

(Acts 17:18+19)(1 Corinthians 15:32)

Paul commented that the 'wisdom of this world' is foolishness with God(1 Corinthians 3:18-20), and it was prevalent enough for him to warn Timothy against listening to it.(1 Timothy 6:20)
