Description
Discourses and Selected Writings is a collection of informal lectures by the influential Stoic philosopher Epictetus, transcribed around AD 108. Born into slavery, Epictetus went on to become one of the most significant thinkers of his time.
This unique collection provides a glimpse into the life and mind of a great intellectual, offering insights into the usage of Koine Greek, an ancestor to Standard Modern Greek. Through his teachings, Epictetus shares his wisdom on the importance of living in accordance with nature and cultivating inner strength.
With 304 pages of thought-provoking content, this paperback edition is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of Epictetus and the Stoic school of thought.
