Through vivid exchanges, practical examples and uncompromising arguments, Epictetus examines what truly lies within our power and how a human being may attain freedom, dignity and moral independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thirty discourses gathered in this volume explore some of the central questions of Stoic philosophy: the proper use of impressions, the formation of character, moral progress, providence, education, self-mastery, our relationship with other people, and the preservation of inner freedom in the face of authority, adversity and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar from offering abstract theory alone, Epictetus presents philosophy as a demanding practice of life. His teaching calls upon us to distinguish between what depends upon us and what does not, to examine our judgements, and to live consistently with reason and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis edition includes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete British English translation of Book I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn extensive philosophical introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty individual discourses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed commentary and 67 linked explanatory notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bibliography for further study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographical information about the translator and commentator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction, translation and commentary by Dr Ioannis S.
