But must I die bawling?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpictetus, a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated and Edited with an Introduction by Robert Dobbin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions :\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.9 x 1.9 x 19.8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140449464\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008-08-28\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008-11-25\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegal Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
