Description

Description

The Stoic Epictetus (50-130 AD) is a direct descendant of Socrates, a forefather of fundamental principles of psychotherapy and a "supplier" of ideas for monastic Christianity.

His Handbook teaches philosophy as a means of daily survival and virtue as a practical means to happiness. It is the teaching of a man who was born a slave but remained free, who lost everything but remained happy.

He does not preach revolution. His very life is revolutionary: it upends, with contempt, our entire system of values and motivations, ridiculing what is most dear to us or most painful. He is indifferent to society – what he seeks is to elevate humanity.

There is no greater mystery than the mystery of the Good. And Epictetus is one of its initiates.

    I am not a philologist or anything related, but my translation seems quite mediocre and relatively hasty. Not that I have found any great ones to suggest. Maybe Tzaknakis' is better. It helps a lot to have the original next to it, something that it doesn't have here (and I didn't expect to need it when I bought it)
