Discourses, Fragments, Handbook

Epictetus explains a lot about ethics, logic and physics with real life examples. He creates more of like a theoretical explanation which makes the reader understand better

You don't like war, you don't like violence, you're exhausted from struggling against political power and obnoxious people. How do you convince yourself to take a step back, without abandoning your principles? This is a good book to help with that. BONUS: You don't need to read it cover-to-cover, but can flip open anywhere and start reading. The author wanted discipline but was also obviously a realist about how much time attention span we can spare for him.

Epicteto, el esclavo liberado, máximo estoico en práctica. Buena edición de Oxford que contiene la obra completa del filósofo, además de fragmentos recopilados de otros autores donde hacen mención de sus humildes enseñanzas.

How many ways can I sing praises for this translation of the Discourses? 1. It is a great size to tote around anywhere much better than the knock off public domain translations and even though it is bigger than the Everymans translation it is softcover and all in one book instead of two. 2. It uses modern English and there are great notes to back it up. Gill and Hard used the ideas of AA Long and really help you get so much more out of the Discourses. Plus all other writings are there too fragments and the Handbook too!!!!! There are no errors and typos like many of the other books and it is just plain fun to read. The 2 number one books are Oldfather's and this one by Hard in my opinion.

Quite poor print quality (text is not at all sharp and has shadowing). I suggest considering a different edition.

The book is perfect, a true treasure of Stoicism, a 'must-read' for anyone looking to apply Stoicism in their life and who wants to dive even deeper into this philosophy. The quality of the book, such as the cover and pages, is also very pleasant. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.
