The Complete Works

'The Collected Works of Epictetus' compiles the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, primarily through the notes of his student Arrian.

This compilation includes 'The Enchiridion' and 'Discourses', which outline Epictetus' ethical framework focused on virtue, reason, and acceptance.

Epictetus emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between what we can control (our thoughts and actions) and what we cannot (external events).

He advocates for living in accordance with nature, cultivating inner resilience, and accepting what is beyond our influence.

The works provide practical guidance on how to live a virtuous and tranquil life, free from emotional turmoil and focused on moral integrity.

They remain influential in contemporary Stoicism, offering timeless wisdom on navigating life's challenges with equanimity and wisdom.
