by Epictetus
First published 108
This reproduction presents the complete philosophical teachings of Epictetus, the former slave who became one of Rome's most influential Stoic philosophers. The text preserves his original insights on virtue, freedom, and human nature exactly as they appeared in historical manuscripts. Readers encounter the same words that shaped centuries of Western thought, complete with original copyright notices and library markings that tell the story of how this knowledge traveled through time. The reproduction may show signs of age like faded pages or unclear text, but scholars agree these imperfections are worth accepting to keep Epictetus accessible to modern readers. His teachings on controlling what we can control and accepting what we cannot remain as relevant today as they were in ancient Rome.
Genres: philosophy, non-fiction, ancient, academic
