The Complete Works

'The Complete Works of Epictetus' compiles the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, as recorded by his student Arrian.

This collection includes 'The Enchiridion' (or Handbook), a concise summary of Epictetus' ethical principles, and the 'Discourses,' a more extensive series of discussions and lectures.

Epictetus emphasizes personal ethics and self-control, teaching that individuals should focus on what they can control—their thoughts and actions—and accept what they cannot, such as external events.

His philosophy promotes inner peace and resilience through virtue, reason, and acceptance of fate.

The works offer practical guidance on how to live a virtuous life, manage emotions, and face adversity with equanimity.

Epictetus' teachings have remained influential for centuries, providing a framework for ethical living and personal development.
