PENGUIN CLASSICS DISCOURSES AND SELECTED WRIT...

The Discourses Fragments Enchiridion  '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.  Translated and Edited with an
Introduction by Robert Dobbin
