The Discourses of Epictetus Book 3
'I must die. But must I die bawling?'
Epictetus,
a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in
Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were
celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by
Arrian, his most famous pupil. The Discourses argue that happiness lies
in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what
is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and
nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and
moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and
imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love.
