The Teaching of Epictetus

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the life and philosophy of Epictetus, a prominent Greek Stoic who overcame his status as a slave to become a significant thinker in ancient Rome. After his banishment, he settled in Nicopolis, where he continued to teach. His profound insights on Stoicism were meticulously recorded by his student Arrian in works like the Discourses and Enchiridion, which explore themes of resilience, personal freedom, and the nature of happiness.
