Discourses and Selected Writings By Epictetus free pdf download. Discourses and Selected Writings is a compilation of informal lectures delivered by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, transcribed around AD 108. Epictetus, a freed slave turned philosopher, operated a successful philosophy school in Nicopolis in the early second century AD.
His teachings, as recorded by his student Arrian, propose that true happiness is achieved by understanding what we can and cannot change, and by accepting our destiny to live in alignment with god and nature. The book also features the Enchiridion, a summary of his key concepts, and the fragments collected here. This work is a significant representation of the use of Koine or “common” Greek, a precursor to Standard Modern Greek.
