The Golden Sayings Of Epictetus

Více o knize

Unlike the vast majority of The Golden Sayings editions, which are public domain reprints from more than a century ago, Stanhope's version updates this 2,000 year old collection of aphorisms in straightforward, modern English. It is by far the greatest and most useful edition of The Golden Sayings to date with its lively translation, explanatory notes drawn from top Epictetus scholars, enigmatic pictures, and introductory material. One of the three great Roman Stoics and a representative of the ethical and philosophical pinnacle of classical Roman civilisation, Epictetus was born in the first century and influenced philosophy during the time of the New Testament.
