Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the 'Enchiridion' (or 'Manual') of Epictetus, a concise summary of Stoic philosophy, alongside the 'Tabula' of Cebes, another work of moral instruction. Presented in both Greek and Latin, this edition is valuable for students and scholars interested in classical languages and philosophy. Epictetus's 'Enchiridion' offers practical guidance on living a virtuous life by focusing on what is within our control and accepting what is not. The 'Tabula' of Cebes presents an allegorical depiction of the path to virtue and happiness.
Edited by Johann Schweighaeuser, this edition provides a resource for understanding Stoic thought and its enduring relevance to contemporary ethical concerns. The parallel Greek and Latin texts facilitate comparative linguistic study and offer insights into the transmission of classical ideas through history.
