Epicteto, página 2 de 6

Epictetus was a slave-turned-philosopher who was born in Hierapolis and famously lived in Rome until Emperor Domitian banned philosophers from the city. Like Socrateswho Epictetus quotes and refers to frequentlywe would know nothing of the thoughts of Epictetus if it were not for one of his enthusiastic students, Arrian, who compiled his mentors teachings.Epictetus was one of the Stoics, philosophers who believed that one should be unmoved by the situations and conditions handed one by the universefor such things are beyond ones control.As the title suggests, "The Golden Sayings" consists of a collection of numbered sayings, some are pithy sentences and others are full paragraphs, but few are as long as a page. Lest giving up ones anger and fear of the unknown seem too daunting, Epictetus does advocate a gradual approach to self-improvement. He says that if one can at first say that one went a day without anger, one is on the path. As long as one works in the direction of saying it has been a week and then a month without anger.As intimated above, Epictetus shows a great admiration for Socrates and applauds the elder philosopher for accepting that which he didnt know and for his continual struggle to be a better man.

Epicteto (50 - 135 d. C.), filósofo griego, vivió parte de su vida como esclavo de Epafrodito en Roma. Todo lo que sabemos de él fue recogido por su discípulo Flavio Arriano. La fama de Epicteto como estoico fue grande, aplico la filosofia tradicional de la Stoa de logica, fisica y etica, aunque los textos que se conservan tratan casi exclusivamente de etica. Sentia una profunda admiracion por Socrates y Diogenes. En"Maximas"encontraremos sus opiniones sobre diversas cuestiones filosoficas y morales como son el bien y el mal, la muerte, la felicidad, el conocimiento de si mismo, las riquezas y la religion.

We will always be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are. After attaining his freedom, Epictetus spent his entire career teaching philosophy and advising a daily regimen of self-examination. His pupil Arrianus later collected and published the masters lecture notes; the Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of Epictetus teachings and an instructional manual for a tranquil life. Full of practical advice, this work offers guidelines for those seeking contentment as well as for those who have already made some progress in that direction

Conocer lo que puedes controlar y lo que no, intentar llevar una vida plena. Definir la persona que queremos ser. Cualquiera que se acerque a los textos recogidos en esta obra descubrirá que la contemplacion del mundoa implica un conocimiento activoa los ejemplos de Epicteto estan extraidos de la vida cotidiana, que contemplar es, en un sentido muy literal, ver, y ya se sabe que no hay peor ciego que... El ejercicio contemplativo lleva al conocimiento y este a la la serenidad de espiritu y, en ultima instancia, a la felicidad. Esta, como la libertad, radica en el reconocimiento de las propias limitaciones, en la asuncion voluntaria y consciente del destino.Porque lo que esta en juego en esta vida no es el poder, sino es el conocimiento ya la sabiduria que conduce a la autonomia individual. A ser uno mismo. Un autentico Manual de vida,a un conmovedor llamamiento a la sensatez y a la supervivencia.a

In "A Selection from the Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion," the Stoic philosopher Epictetus presents a rich tapestry of his teachings, emphasizing the importance of ethics, self-control, and personal responsibility. Written in a conversational tone, these selections bridge the complexities of Stoic philosophy with practical guidance for everyday life. The text draws upon both personal anecdotes and philosophical discourse, positioning itself within the broader context of Hellenistic thought, where the quest for moral virtue finds paramount significance amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Roman Empire. Epictetus, born a slave and later gaining his freedom, cultivated a profound understanding of human suffering and resilience, directly influencing his philosophical outlook. His life experiences, marked by adversity and transformation, inform his teachings on the dichotomy of control, positioning liberty not in circumstances but in ones attitudes and perceptions. By focusing on the power of individual choice and virtue, he crafts a philosophy aimed at empowering individuals to lead lives of authenticity and purpose. This text serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern existence. Epictetuss insights into managing desire, facing adversity, and fostering inner peace resonate powerfully today, making this book a compelling read for both scholars and general readers alike.

Tratto dalle lezioni che tenne presso la sua scuola nellEpiro e redatto, insieme con i Colloqui, dal suo discepolo Arriano di Nicomedia, il Manuale di Epitteto contiene, in forma riassunta, il tema portante dei primi: la capacita che deve avere il filosofo e quella di saper discernere cio che dipende da lui (lintelligenza, la saggezza) da cio che non dipende da lui (i malanni, la salute) per ottenere quel controllo di se stessi che da indifferenza non, ad esempio, nei confronti della malattia, ma nei confronti dellidea di malattia.Nota: gli e-book editi da E-text in collaborazione con Liber Liber sono tutti privi di DRM; si possono quindi leggere su qualsiasi lettore di e-book, si possono copiare su piu dispositivi e, volendo, si possono anche modificare.Questo e-book aiuta il sito di Liber Liber, una mediateca che rende disponibili gratuitamente migliaia di capolavori della letteratura e della musica.
