Description
A Selection from the Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion brings together the most enduring teachings of one of antiquity’s greatest moral philosophers. Epictetus, a former slave turned Stoic teacher, focused his philosophy on practical ethics—how to live with dignity, self-control, and inner freedom regardless of external circumstances.
This volume presents carefully chosen passages from the Discourses, recorded by his student Arrian, alongside the Encheiridion (Handbook), a concise manual of Stoic principles. Together, these texts form a powerful guide to rational living, emphasizing personal responsibility and acceptance of what lies beyond one’s control.
Rather than abstract theory, Epictetus offers direct instruction addressing everyday struggles such as fear, anger, desire, and ambition. The Encheiridion distills Stoic wisdom into brief, memorable maxims that continue to guide readers across generations.
This edition is well suited for both new readers of Stoicism and those seeking a dependable classical text for reflection and study.
