Enchiridion (with a Selection from the Discourses) [Translated by George Long with an Introduction by T. W. Rolleston]

Viac o knihe

Born into slavery in 55 AD, Epictetus became a leading figure in Stoicism, a philosophy advocating emotional detachment for the pursuit of truth and harmony with the universe. After his banishment from Rome, he settled in Nicopolis, where he taught practical philosophy. His most notable work, the "Enchiridion," compiled by his student Arrian, serves as a guide to achieving happiness through acceptance of one's circumstances. This edition includes selected discourses, a translation by George Long, and an introduction by T. W. Rolleston, printed on premium acid-free paper.
