The Epictetus Collection

EpictetusÂ was aÂ GreekÂ StoicÂ philosopher. He was born aÂ slaveÂ atÂ Hierapolis,Â Phrygia and lived inÂ RomeÂ until his banishment, when he went toÂ NicopolisÂ in northwesternÂ GreeceÂ for the rest of his life. His teachings were written down and published by his pupilÂ ArrianÂ in hisÂ DiscoursesÂ andÂ Enchiridion.
Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; we should accept calmly and dispassionately whatever happens. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

The Epictetus Collection by Steppenwolf Press features the extant writings of the stoic master, including:
