Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

The discourses of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus are regarded as some of the most influential teachings of the ancient world. Born into slavery and sent into exile before setting up a school of philosophy, Epictetus delivered a series of lectures where he argued that true happiness comes only when we learn to distinguish what is within our power and what is beyond our personal control.

Using George Long’s 1890 translation, this edition includes a selection of Epictetus’ key principles, as well as a manual of his core philosophy, the Encheiridion. With clarity, conviction and timeless wisdom that is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago, these teachings navigate the complexities of the human condition and offer rational guidance for the turmoil of modern life.

About the Author

Born into slavery in AD 55, Epictetus was one of the greatest Stoic philosophers of Roman antiquity. His Discourses – a series of lectures taught at his school of philosophy in Nicopolis – were transcribed by his student Arrian, and offer practical guidance on how to follow stoicism in daily life.
