Résumé
Arrian Epictetus's "Enchiridion & The Discourses of Epictetus" serves as a profound entry point into Stoic philosophy, encapsulating the teachings of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus as imparted by his devoted student, Arrian. The text combines accessibility with philosophical depth, employing a clear and didactic style that reflects the oral tradition from which Epictetus's teachings emerged.
By distilling complex ideas into practical maxims and relatable parables, Arrian provides readers with not just intellectual insights but actionable wisdom relevant to everyday life, emphasizing the importance of internal virtue over external circumstances. Arrian, a Roman historian and philosopher, was depicted as a man deeply influenced by the ethical teachings of Epictetus, whom he studied during his time in Nicopolis.
His background as a military officer and a student of rhetoric rates him a keen observer of human behavior and ethical dilemmas, enabling him to present Epictetus's ideas in a manner that resonates with both scholars and lay readers. His commitment to preserving Epictetus's philosophy reflects the value he placed on Stoicism as a guide for personal resilience and moral integrity. This edition is highly recommended for anyone seeking a foundational understanding of Stoic thought, as it reveals timeless principles of self-discipline and virtue.
