Enchiridion de Epictetus

Enchiridion

Autor Epictetus
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 1991
The Enchiridion, or "Handbook," is a summary of the teachings of the slave-turned-Stoic philosopher Epictetus (first century A.D.) posthumously compiled and published by one of Epictetus' students. Though brief, this work is universally considered to be the living spirit of Stoicism, wherein the principles of right conduct and true thinking are outlined.

The Enchiridion has played a significant role in the development of modern philosophy and intellectual attitudes, showing secular thinkers how sound reasoning can free them from the shackles of absolutism and emotionalism and, in so doing, live a more tranquil and productive life.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The Enchiridion (‘handbook’) of Epictetus is one of the most well-known and best-loved works of ancient Greek literature. Based on the solid theoretical foundation of Stoic thought, this is indeed a highly accessible handbook giving practical advice on how to live a better life. It is as relevant now as ever it was. This pocket-size edition of the classic work is presented in a lucid, jargon-free new translation, with a thought-provoking introduction by contemporary philosopher Matthew Talbert. Typeset with Boatwhistle’s customary panache, this edition is as elegant as it is engrossing.

Notă biografică

Epictetus (c. 50–c. 135 AD) was a prominent Greek philosopher whose teachings became a cornerstone of Roman Stoicism. Born into slavery in Hierapolis (modern-day Turkey), he spent his youth in Rome as a slave to a wealthy administrative secretary of Nero. After gaining his freedom following Nero’s death, Epictetus began teaching philosophy in Rome until the Emperor Domitian banished all philosophers from Italy around 89 AD. He relocated to Nicopolis, Greece, where he established a highly influential philosophical school that attracted students from across the Roman Empire. Epictetus wrote nothing down himself; his profound insights on freedom, personal autonomy, and emotional resilience were meticulously recorded and preserved by his devoted student, Arrian.
