Description
Epictetus' Discourses as Reported by Arrian and Fragments presents the teachings of a Stoic philosopher who rose from slavery to become a renowned teacher. Born in Phrygia, Epictetus was freed after hearing lectures by Musonius, before being expelled and settling in Nicopolis. His school became a place for those seeking spiritual healing. Epictetus' philosophy emphasizes living righteously according to one's own will, rather than coveting others'. He teaches that humans must conform to the natural order and accept the things they cannot change. This edition of his works is presented in two volumes, offering insight into Stoic ethics and the ideal way of life. The Discourses and Fragments provide a practical guide to living in accordance with nature, while also presenting a nuanced picture of the perfect Stoic individual.
