A Greek Stoic philosopher of the first and second century, Epictetus settled permanently in Nicopolis in Epirus, where he founded his own school, which he called a 'healing place for sick souls.' There he taught a practical philosophy, which has been recorded by his principal student Arrian, the famous author of the historical work 'Anabasis of Alexander'. The 'Discourses' present Epictetus' Stoic ethics as broad and firm in method, and occasionally humorous and melancholic in spirit. The philosopher also presents a compelling example of the ideal Stoic man. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Epictetus' complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
