Produktbeschreibung
In "A Selection from the Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion," the Stoic philosopher Epictetus presents a rich tapestry of his teachings, emphasizing the importance of ethics, self-control, and personal responsibility. Written in a conversational tone, these selections bridge the complexities of Stoic philosophy with practical guidance for everyday life. The text draws upon both personal anecdotes and philosophical discourse, positioning itself within the broader context of Hellenistic thought, where the quest for moral virtue finds paramount significance amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Roman Empire. Epictetus, born a slave and later gaining his freedom, cultivated a profound understanding of human suffering and resilience, directly influencing his philosophical outlook. His life experiences, marked by adversity and transformation, inform his teachings on the dichotomy of control, positioning liberty not in circumstances but in one's attitudes and perceptions. By focusing on the power of individual choice and virtue, he crafts a philosophy aimed at empowering individuals to lead lives of authenticity and purpose. This text serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern existence. Epictetus's insights into managing desire, facing adversity, and fostering inner peace resonate powerfully today, making this book a compelling read for both scholars and general readers alike.
