Book Excerpt: 
. . .Philosophy as a way of life makes men free. It is the last ditch stand of liberty in a world of servitude. Many elements in the new age led to thought which had structural affinity with Roman Stoicism. Modern times had created the independent thinker, the free intellectual in a secular civilization. Modern times had destroyed medieval liberties and had established the new despotism of the absolute state supported by ecclesiastical authority. Modern philosophies continued the [8] basic trend in Stoicism in making the subjective consciousness the foundation of philosophy. The Stoic emphasis on moral problems was also appealing in an era of rapid transition when all the values which had previously been taken for granted were questioned and reconsidered.

While it is interesting to observe how varied were the effects produced by this small volume, this epitome of the Stoic system of moral philosophy, these effects seem still more remarkable when we consider that it w. . . Read More

Stoicism according to Epictetus, is:
Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.
and:
If you ever happen to turn your attention to externals, so as to wish to please anyone, be assured that you have ruined your scheme of life.

Există cărți de citit (cele mai multe) și există cărți de re-citit (foarte puține). Manualul lui Epictet face parte, neîndoielnic, din grupul cărților de re-citit.

Epictet a fost un filosof oral. Ca și Socrate, n-a scris nimic. Se deosebește de Seneca, înaintașul lui, care a fost obsedat de vanitate

This is a wonderful concise book written by one of the most wisest stoics, or we can even say one of the most wisest people who have ever lived, Epictetus. Being a slave for a noticeable share of his life, he experienced so many personal and social irritating situations which made him to think about

Ceea ce frapează în preceptele celor doi filosofi stoici este simplitatea lor, bunul simț, naturalețea. Toată lumea exclamă cu grăbire: „Dar știu deja aceste îndemnuri triviale, nu e nevoie să-i citesc pe Epictet, pe Seneca, pe Marcus Aurelius, mă descurc și fără ei...”. Și atunci - mă întreb - de c

Învățăturile stoicului Epictet (50 - 135) au fost consemnate de ucenicii lui: s-au păstrat notele lui Arrian. Sclav eliberat (de Epaphroditos, unul dintre secretarii lui Nero), Epictet a trăit din lecțiile date discipolilor. Cînd filosofii au fost izgoniți din Roma (în anul 93), s-a stabilit într-o

من أمتع الكتب التي قرأتُها للفيلسوف الرواقي "إبكيتيتوس"
يفلسف الموت والحياة وموقف الإنسان منهما، والسيّد والعبد، وهو مليء بالحكمة التي تبدو كمنارةٍ في ظلمات الحياة، يتسامَى بالنفس حتى ترى كل عرضٍ زائلاً لم يكنْ يومًا لها.
يبدو كل شيءٍ في الحياة وديعةً مُستردّة، وأمانةً سوف نُسْأَل عنها. إبكيتيتوس في (

Better than any self help book available today - so very powerful because of the simplicity of the message - focus only on that which you can control and avoid control over that which is beyond you influence. A lesson that is still valuable today as we all try to 'carve' out little chunks of time th

کتابچه ای کوتاه مشتمل بر اندرزهای اپیکتتوس، فیلسوف رواقی معروف.
تازگی ها به رواقی ها علاقه مند شدم، به خاطر موضوعات مورد علاقه شون، که خیلی شبیه موضوعات مورد علاقه ی شوپنهاوره: این که چطور می تونیم زندگی بدون رنج، و با آرامش خاطری داشته باشیم. هر چند بعضی از روش هاشون عجیب و غریبه، اما اون قدر واقعگر

سأخبركم سرًا؛ أنا أكره كل ما هو مثاليّ وكل ما يسعى إلى أن يكون كذلك، كل ما هو كامل وكل ما يسعى إلى أن يكون كذلك.
كل فلسفة/أيدلوجية/مذهب/ديانة تسعى إلى هدف واحد وهو جعل العالم أفضل ولو قليلاً مما هو عليه الآن، هذه الفلسفات تحترمها، تأخذها على محمل الجد، تقرأ كل منها وتنقدها وتفاضل بينها وبين الأخريات

Stoic philosophy is concerned with preserving our serenity and happiness regardless of any situation or circumstances. Be it loosing your fame and wealth or you beloved ones ...

This book which present the teachings of stoic philosopher "Epictetus", is filled with practical wisdom, many of which cons
