Description

Epictetus in the lecture-room, Arrian taking notes: what is yours, what is not, virtue as the only real goods. Hear the Discourses unabridged in English. Adelphi audiobook of the Stoic class — slavery, a lame teacher, a mind that will not outsource its peace. Listen to drills, not slogans. Courage, justice, the discipline of assent. Spoken philosophy for a life that has to be walked. The slave who taught emperors’ circles, still telling you to stop arguing with the weather.

Author

Epictetus was a Greek-speaking Stoic philosopher. He lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in north-western Greece for the rest of his life. Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately.
