Description
The Complete Works Handbook, Discourses, and Fragments by Epictetus This collection brings together the complete surviving works of Epictetus, one of the most influential Stoic philosophers from antiquity. Born into slavery, Epictetus went on to become a renowned philosophy teacher, sharing his insights on how to live a virtuous life. Epictetus' teachings emphasize the importance of accepting what is outside of our control and focusing on our internal states and responses. His work, as recorded by his student Arrian, offers a practical guide to moral self-improvement, covering topics such as coping with death, exile, and the challenges of everyday life. Edited and translated by a renowned scholar, this book provides a unique opportunity for modern readers to engage with Epictetus' timeless wisdom.
