Download or read book The Discourses of Epictetus The Handbook Fragments written by Epictetus and published by Everyman Paperback. This book was released on 1995-03-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Stoicism was virtually the unofficial religion of the Roman world The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem coldhearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers by far the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Committed to communicating with the broadest possible audience, Epictetus uses humor, imagery conversations and homely comparisons to put his message across. The results are perfect universal justice and calm indifference in the face of pain. The most comprehensive edition available with an introduction, notes, selected criticism, glossary, and chronology of Epictetus' life and times.

Download or read book Enchiridion The Discourses of Epictetus written by Arrian Epictetus and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enchiridion or Manual of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is similar to the Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focused his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy in daily life. The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of extracts of the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by Arrian c. 108 AD. There were originally eight books, but only four now remain in their entirety, along with a few fragments of the others.

Download or read book The Complete Works written by Epictetus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most important Stoic philosophers is Epictetus. Epictetus (c. 50 - 135 CE) was a Greek enslaved person who established an important school of Stoic philosophy in Rome. Epictetus is appreciated for his clear, good-humored way of explaining difficult ideas and his focus on daily life rather than metaphysics. This may be because he did not write down his lectures and discourses, as Marcus and Seneca did-rather, he delivered them aloud and they were carefully recorded by his students. Thus we should not refer to them as "writings" but as "works." The complete oeuvre consists of his popular handbook on virtue (enchiridion), also known as "The Art of Living," a set of discourses, and a number of fragments. This set of translations, framed by an introduction and notes, is geared expressly to general readers and students, though it will be enormously helpful to scholars as well"--

Book excerpt: Professor Davidson has given us in this book an interesting general summary of the Stoic philosophy. Students who are familiar with the literature of the subject will not find much that is new to them in this summary; and perhaps the interests even of the general reader would have been better consulted if the author had gone more into detail on many of the interesting points that have recently been discussed. In particular, we should have been glad to see a fuller statement of the parts played by the various members of the Stoic school in the formulation of the creed. From the point of view of the exact history of philosophy, we should have preferred to see less use made of the late Stoics and more use made of the fragments of Zeno, Cleanthes, and Chrysippus; for there can be no doubt that these were the formative thinkers of the school, and that the members of the Middle and Later Stoa did little but repeat the older arguments, enforcing them by apt illustration and clever rhetoric, but often, also, losing consistency by borrowing ideas from other schools. Probably one might go further and say that all the main ideas of Stoicism are to be found already in Zeno -- that the task of Cleanthes was simply that of systematizing, and the task of Chrysippus, that of finding new arguments for old conclusions. The general relation of the main thinkers of the school is correctly stated by Prof. Davidson, but in a book of this size room might surely have been found for a more detailed treatment of the question. The object of the book, however, is different. Its object is to present Stoicism as a single closed system of ideas, important by reason of its high moral tone and its influence on several successive generations. The author has achieved this task in a distinctly interesting way. He has chosen characteristic and forcible passages from Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, and has given us a fairly complete picture of the Stoic beliefs, especially on the ethical and theological sides. The book also contains much shrewd and sensible criticism, of which pp. 99-104 on the Stoic cosmology are perhaps the most favorable specimen.--The Classical Review, Vol. 21
Download or read book The Stoic Creed written by William L. Davidson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stoic Creed These chapters are a contribution towards the exposition and just appreciation of Stoicism-which, whatever its defects, was a system of lofty principles, illustrated in the lives of many noble men. The subject has perennial fascination; and there are not wanting signs that it appeals with special attractiveness to cultured minds at the present day. It has both speculative and practical value ; its analysis of human nature and its theory of knowledge, no less than its ethical teaching, giving insight into the problems of the universe and the right mode of guiding life. As an important stage in the march of philosophical thought, and as a luminous chapter in the history of natural theology, it solicits our attention, and will repay our study. Ample quotations are designedly made from the Stoic writers themselves and from ancient Greek and Latin expositions. Responsibility for the translation of most of the passages must be accepted by myself. One exception, however, has to be made.
