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.
