Summary

Epictetus's 'Discourses' have been the most widely read and influential of all writings of Stoic philosophy, from antiquity onwards. They set out the core ethical principles of Stoicism in a form designed to help people put them into practice and to use them as a basis for leading a good human life. This text presents a translation of the Discourses, together with the handbook or manual of key themes, and surviving fragments
