This text remains the only English translation of Bonhoeffer's
classic, definitive examination of Epictetus's ethics. Thorough,
knowledgeable, perceptive, and accessible, the unity of this book
and its thematic presentation make it an invaluable resource for
both scholars and general readers eager to apply Stoic thinking in
their daily lives. The translation is crisp, clear, consistent, and
very readable. Careful attention to the details and nuances of the
German as well as the Greek of Epictetus make this an excellent
achievement. This new edition includes a useful biography of
Bonhoeffer, a new overview of the last twenty years of scholarship
on Epictetus, and an extensive bibliography. It is essential
reading for students taking courses on ancient Hellenistic or Roman
philosophy, their instructors, and any non-academics who want to
learn Stoicism.
