Epiktet wurde um 55 n. Chr. im Römischen Reich in die Sklaverei geboren. Nach seiner Befreiung gründete er eine einflussreiche Schule der stoischen Philosophie, die betont, dass der Mensch das, was ihm im Leben widerfährt, oft nicht kontrollieren kann, aber seine Reaktionen darauf. Aber genau darin liegt eine nahezu unendliche Kraft, ein erfülltes Leben zu finden. Sharon Lebell hat sich in diesem Buch die Hauptwerke Epiktets, bis heute einer der wichtigsten stoischen Philosophen, vorgenommen und einer Neubearbeitung unterzogen. Es erfolgt nicht nur eine Übertragung von Epiktets »Handbüchlein« in eine moderne und leicht verständliche Sprache, sondern auch eine umfassende Neuinterpretation seiner Lehre, aus der sich vielfältige und ganz praktische Anweisungen ergeben, die für jedermann verständlich und jederzeit anwendbar sind und die in ihrer praktischen Anwendung im Endeffekt fast zwangsläufig zu einem ausgefüllten, glücklichen Leben führen.

The complete surviving works of Epictetus, a pivotal Stoic philosopher from antiquity, present profound insights on personal agency and moral self-improvement. Born into slavery around 50 CE, Epictetus became a philosophy teacher after gaining his freedom. Following his expulsion from Rome, he dedicated his life to teaching in Greece. His influential works include a series of discourses, recorded by his student Arrian, and the Handbook, which encapsulates the essence of Epictetus's teachings. Central to his philosophy is the idea that happiness hinges on understanding what is within our control and what is not. While our internal states and reactions are ours to manage, external events are determined by a benevolent deity, and we should regard them, along with our bodies, possessions, and relationships, as indifferent—striving to make the best use of them. The Discourses and Handbook serve as practical guides for self-improvement, detailing the necessary work and exercises for enriching one’s life. Edited and translated by esteemed scholar Robin Waterfield, this collection offers modern readers valuable perspectives on coping with challenges such as death, exile, interpersonal relationships, and the unpredictability of life.

Rolleston, it is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Epiktétova Příručka doplněná o fragmenty jeho Rozprav obsahuje zásady stoické filosofie a představuje kontury jejího pohledu na svět. Lidská mysl musí být podle stoiků schopna rozlišit kam až sahá boží vliv, od toho, co je v dosahu jednání každého člověka. Třetí část této knihy představuje některé myšlenky nejstarších reprezentantů této filosofické školy např. Zénóna či Chrýsippa, zarámována tu souhlasnými komentáři Senecovými, jinde jízlivými poznámkami Ciceronovými. Primárním úkolem knihy není představit souvislý výklad stoického učení, ale být svému čtenáři užitečnou pomůckou a dopomoci mu k pokroku směrem k blaženosti. Tedy k životu zcela svobodnému a pokojnému, oproštěnému od bolesti, ale i neuvážené slasti. Aby u svého čtenáře takového pokroku mohl dosáhnout, představuje Epiktétos nejen přísnou stoickou doktrínu, ale také menší krůčky, důvtipné a prozíravé rady a mentální cviky, založené na bystrém pozorování lidské psychiky.

Epiktet, grecki filozof, przekazuje swoje nauki poprzez dialogi i spory, które zostały spisane przez jego ucznia, Flawiusza Arriana. Jego filozofia koncentruje się na naturze człowieka, wolności i szczęściu, podkreślając, że zrozumienie tych kwestii jest kluczowe dla osobistego spełnienia, czyli eudajmonii. W obliczu współczesnych wyzwań i nierealistycznych pragnień, które często pozostają niespełnione, jego myśli są bardziej aktualne niż kiedykolwiek. Diatryby i Encheiridion mają na celu pomóc czytelnikom zrozumieć prawdziwe znaczenie przyjemności, obowiązków i cnót. Epiktet podkreśla, że filozofia ma moc nadawania życiu sensu i przynoszenia szczęścia. Rozróżnia rzeczy, na które mamy wpływ, i te, które są poza naszą kontrolą, wskazując, że niepowodzenia, które nie są naszą winą, nie powinny wywoływać żalu. Ta niewielka książeczka, oparta na przekładzie George'a Longa, wymaga od czytelnika refleksji i uważności. To lektura dla tych, którzy pragną uporządkować swoje życie i nadać mu znaczenie. Klucz do szczęścia leży w przestaniu martwienia się rzeczami, na które nie mamy wpływu. Epiktet przypomina, że zdrowy rozsądek i proste działanie są niezwykle cenne.

This book contains many powerful and effective practices for a modern person. If you want to have control over things that belong to your internal state, then The Stoic way of Life is for you.

Staroveký manuál rozvoja osobnosti a správneho prístupu k životu. Filozof Epiktétos, oslobodený otrok a známa osobnosť svojej doby, sa prostredníctvom Manuálu prihovára k čitateľovi ako k svojmu žiakovi, ktorý sa rozhodol zmeniť a zlepšiť svoj život. Ponúka súbor rád a pravidiel, ktoré, ak správne aplikované, mu majú priniesť duševný kľud a šťastie. Manuál sa snaží odhaliť, kde skutočne leží ľudská sloboda a čo je príčinou ľudského utrpenia. Epiktétos, narodený v chudobe a otroctve, neskôr velebený verejnosťou a stretávajúci sa i so samotným rímskym cisárom, dospel k hlbokému porozumeniu toho, ako nakladať so životnými strasťami a ako pristupovať k svojmu osudu. Epiktétov Manuál bol svojho času nazývaný srdcom stoickej filozofie a dodnes patrí k svetovo najčítanejším dielam klasickej literatúry. Na rozdiel od dobovej literatúry sa ale vyznačuje nebývalou jasnosťou a stručnosťou. Text nie je nijako štylisticky zaťažený historickými postupmi a útvarmi. Bol napísaný výlučne ako súbor poznámok z Epiktétových prednášok, preto je strohý a priamy. Počas dvoch tisícročí od svojho vzniku, Epiktétovo dielo preukázateľne pomohlo mnohým tým, ktorí sa do neho začítali, nájsť svoj smer v živote, postaviť sa na vlastné nohy a uspieť. Jeho idey sa navždy stali súčasťou filozofie osobnostného rozvoja a jeho ideologická príbuznosť s východnou filozofiou výstižne ilustruje jeho univerzálnosť a autenticitu.

This collection features six foundational works of Stoic philosophy, including Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" and Seneca's "Letters from a Stoic."

Each text offers profound insights into resilience, virtue, and the art of living, providing readers with timeless wisdom for personal growth and self-discipline. Together, these works serve as a comprehensive introduction to Stoic thought.

A practical guide to moral self-improvement and living a good life. It tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, stubbornness and fear, family, friendship and love, and leaves an intriguing document of daily life in the classical world.

Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis 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. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, 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, and leaves an intriguing document of daily life in the classical world.

Epictetus observed that although everyday life is fraught with difficulty, a life of virtue is within reach. By putting into practice the 93 witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions, this work helps readers learn to gracefully meet the challenges of everyday life as well as life's inevitable major losses and disappointments.

A translation of one of the most important texts of Western philosophy. Few ancient works have been as influential as the MEDITATIONS of Marcus Aurelius. A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behaviour, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus's insights and advice - on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others - have made the MEDITATIONS required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. In Gregory Hays's new translation - the first in thirty-five years - Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus's insights been so directly and powerfully presented.

In this compilation of Books 3 and 4 of Epictetus' Discourses — the second of a two-volume set — the philosopher discusses the quest for freedom, the nature of solitude, cynicism, fear, discretion, the avoidance of quarrels, and other subjects of enduring interest and concern.

For centuries, Stoicism was virtually the unofficial religion of the Roman world The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem coldhearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers by far the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Committed to communicating with the broadest possible audience, Epictetus uses humor, imagery conversations and homely comparisons to put his message across. The results are perfect universal justice and calm indifference in the face of pain. The most comprehensive edition available with an introduction, notes, selected criticism, glossary, and chronology of Epictetus' life and times.

Quando Leopardi informò l’editore Stella di Milano, il 9 dicembre 1825, di aver completato la traduzione in volgare del Manuale di Epitteto, l’opera era già ben nota e apprezzata tra i dotti. Era stata oggetto di significativi studi filologici, soprattutto in Inghilterra e Germania, e tradotta diverse volte in Italia da autori come Salvini, Pagnini, Giovio e Lapi. Leopardi non “scoprì” né “rivalutò” il Manuale, ma riuscì a rendere l’arduo greco dell’originale in una forma fluida e accessibile, che ancora oggi si legge con facilità. Inoltre, conferì all’opera una nuova rilevanza, in sintonia con il suo progetto filosofico, ben rappresentato nelle Operette morali. Redatto in un breve periodo con grande dedizione, questo “lavoruccio” era particolarmente caro a Leopardi, sia per il suo contenuto morale e filosofico, sia per la sua riuscita stilistica. Tuttavia, il poeta non ebbe mai la soddisfazione di vederlo pubblicato: la prima edizione, curata da Antonio Ranieri, apparve solo nel 1854, otto anni dopo la sua morte.

Robert Dobbin presents a new translation into clear modern English of the first book of Epictetus' Discourses, accompanied by the first ever commentary on the work in English. The Discourses, composed around AD 100, are a key source for ancient Stoicism, one of the most influential schools of thought in Western philosophy.

Epiktétova nauka o mravním jednání, zejména o mravní sebevýchově člověka, podává po způsobu takzvané diariblé, filosofické rozpravy, čas od času kořeněné anekdotami, citáty z básníků, názornými a mnohdy drastickými příklady, alegoriemi, apostrofami, personifikacemi a zejména hojnýmidialogy, neztratila podnes na své působnosti a na ceně.

O životě Epiktéta toho víme málo spolehlivého. Již starověké zprávy o něm jsou hodně nepřesné a odporují si. Ani jeho věk není bezpečně zjištěn; obecně se může říct, že žil v druhé polovině 1. Století a v prvé polovině 2. Století, tedy asi 50-130 po Kr. Pocházel z Frýgie, v Římě otročil v domě jakéhosi Epafrodita. Pán poznav jeho nadání dal ho vyučovati ve filosofii u Musonia Rufa. Epiktétos se oddal filosofii stoické. Byv propuštěn na svobodu vyučoval v Římě a těšil se velké přízni a oblibě. R. 94 byl spolu s jinými filosofy vypovězen a odstěhoval se do Nikopole, kde zemřel. Jeho učení je učení staroattické stoy namířené na cíl praktický. Jádrem je výklad o dobru a zlu. Epiktét učí, že dobro a zlo jsou věci zcela závislé na naší vůli. Vrchol dobra je rozumný způsob praktického života. Člověk žije ve společnosti, proto se všechno myšlení i konání musí řídit zřetelem společenským. Lidé jsou špatní, protože nevědí, co je dobré. Snášejme tedy chyby bližních a nehněvejme se na ně. I špatní jsou nutnou součástí světa řádně řízeného božskou prozřetelností. Šťasten je ten, kdo dobře plní úkol od Boha určený; v tomto konání dobra nemůže mu překážet nikdo. Poznámky: podle původního vydání u Bohuslava Hendrycha v Praze roku 1938
