Description: The Discourses of Epictetus by Epictetus Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Despite being born into slavery, Greco-Roman philosopher Epictetus became one of the most influential thinkers of his time. The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of extracts of the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus. No writings of Epictetus himself are known. His discourses were transcribed and compiled by his pupil Arrian c. 108 AD. The main work is The Discourses. There were originally eight books, but only four now remain in their entirety, along with a few fragments of the others. Epictetus maintains that the foundation of all philosophy is self-knowledge, that is, the conviction of our ignorance and weakness when measured by the standard of good, and ought to be the first subject of instruction. Author Biography Epictetus (circa 55-135 ce) taught in Rome until the year 94 ce, when Emperor Domitian banished philosophers from the city. In exile, he established a school of philosophy where his distinguished students included Marcus Aurelius, author of "Meditations". Some 1,863 years after Epictetuss death, Tom Wolfe revived his philosophy in the bestselling novel "A Man in Full".
