Description

The Handbook (The Encheiridion) by Epictetus is a foundational text in Stoic philosophy. Written over 1,900 years ago, it offers practical wisdom and guidance for living a virtuous life.

Originally compiled as a personal guide for himself and his students, this concise handbook distills the key principles of Stoicism into accessible and thought-provoking advice. Its influence can be seen in the work of many prominent thinkers throughout history, including Spinoza.

This paperback edition features 35 pages of insightful commentary and translations, making it an ideal introduction to the subject for students and scholars alike.
