The Discourses/Fragments/Enchiridion 'I must die. But must I die
bawling?' Epictetus, a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving
philosophy school in Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His
animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry
and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. The
Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive
exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in
embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this
personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and moral
self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and
imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love.
Translated and Edited with an Introduction by Robert Dobbin
