Synopsis

This volume gathers two short works in which Epictetus sets out key ideas from Stoic philosophy, returning to questions of fate and humanity’s place in the universe. Across these selections, he considers the boundary between what lies within our power and what does not, alongside reflections on good and evil, how to live, and the value of self-knowledge.

With its focus on religion and philosophy, it offers a compact introduction to enduring Stoic thought.
