Epictetus (AD - circa ) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born at Hierapolis Phrygia , lived most of his life in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece , where he died. Epictetus spent his youth as a slave . His real name is not known - the word epiktetos in Greek means "acquired." He was eventually freed and lived a relatively hard life in ill health in Rome. He was exiled along with other philosophers by the emperor Domitian in AD Epictetus' main work is the Enchiridion or "Handbook", while his longer works are known as The Discourses . It is not believed that Epictetus wrote these, himself, but that they were penned by his pupil, Arrian . Like the early Stoics, Epictetus focused on ethics and on being masters of our own lives. The role of the Stoic teacher, according to Epictetus, was to encourage his students to live the philosophic life, whose end was eudaimonia (‘happiness’ or ‘flourishing’), to be secured by living the life of reason, which meant living virtuously and living ‘according to the will of nature’.

Epictetus: Enchiridion - a manual for living With regard to whatever objects give you delight, are useful, or are deeply loved, remember to tell yourself of what general nature they are, beginning from the most insignificant things. If, for example, you are fond of a specific ceramic cup, remind yourself that it is only ceramic cups in general of which you are fond. Then, if it breaks, you will not be disturbed. If you kiss your child, or your wife, say that you only kiss things which are human, and thus you will not be disturbed if either of them dies. When you are going about any action, remind yourself what nature the action is. If you are going to bathe, picture to yourself the things which usually happen in the bath: some people splash the water, some push, some use abusive language, and others steal. Thus you will more safely go about this action if you say to yourself, "I will now go bathe, and keep my own mind in a state conformable to nature." And in the same manner with regard to every other action. For thus, if any hindrance arises in bathing, you will have it ready to say, "It was not only to bathe that I desired, but to keep my mind in a state conformable to nature; and I will not keep it if I am bothered at things that happen. Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things. Death, for instance, is not terrible, else it would have appeared so to Socrates. But the terror consists in our notion of death that it is terrible. When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles. An uninstructed person will lay the fault of his own bad condition upon others. Someone just starting instruction will lay the fault on himself. Some who is perfectly instructed will place blame neither on others nor on himself.

30. The Manual A modern (colloquial) rendering of the Enchiridion of epictetus. http://www.ideonautics.com/manual2.htm

THE MANUAL or, How to Control Everything You Can a modern rendering of the Enchiridion of Epictetus by Stephen Walton Foreword Slender it is, but enduring and powerful enough that it does deserve to be called the manual. The sayings of a Graeco-Roman philosopher who lived what he taught some 1900 years ago, the Enchiridion ("manual" or "handbook") of Epictetus has been deservedly popular with emperors and kings, thinkers and doers, ever since. This "pagan" work has twice been adapted by Christian paraphrasers, and about two- thirds of it was included in the rule of the Carthusian order. A lame ex-slave, Epictetus lived from about 50 to 130 A.D. He was a standard bearer of the Stoic tradition, which dates from around 300 B.C. and nominates Socrates and the Cynic Diogenes as its ancestors. Epictetus published nothing himself; fortunately, he had a pupil who took good notes, and we have not only The Manual but also the much longer Moral Discourses. The Manual is the short version of what Epictetus taught, a Cliff's Notes of Stoic principles. Given the established merits of the original work, the form it takes here is the only open question. What follows is a rendering of The Manual into modern, colloquial English. Since I know little Greek, I have based the rendering on translations, those by Carter and Long, that are now in the common domain. A pop version like this can be justified, I believe, if it is clearly labeled as such and if it wins readers who might otherwise never know the work in any form. Anyone who goes on to one of the actual translations (listed after the text) will prove that the rendering has been useful.

Was it because they did not choose? I indeed think that, if they had been able, they would have put these other things also in our power, but they certainly could not. For as we exist on the earth, and are bound to such a body and to such companions, how was it possible for us not to be hindered as to these things by externals? But what says Zeus? "Epictetus, if it were possible, I would have made both your little body and your little property free and not exposed to hindrance. But now be not ignorant of this: this body is not yours, but it is clay finely tempered. And since I was not able to do for you what I have mentioned, I have given you a small portion of us, this faculty of pursuing an object and avoiding it, and the faculty of desire and aversion, and, in a word, the faculty of using the appearances of things; and if you will take care of this faculty and consider it your only possession, you will never be hindered, never meet with impediments; you will not lament, you will not blame, you will not flatter any person."

STOIC PHILOSOPHY Epictetus: Selected Works. Epictetus Epictetus was an eminent Stoic philosopher, born as a slave at Hieropolis in Phyrgia in 55 CE. In Rome he was for some time a slave to Epaphroditus, one of Nero’s body-guards. Origen tells about the cruelty of Epaphroditus. Epictetus, when his master was twisting his leg one day, smiled and quietly said, "You will break it"; and when he did break it, only observed, "Did I not tell you that you would do so?" At some point Epictetus gained his freedom and was forced to leave Rome because of an edict against philosophers in 89 CE. From: The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Epictetus' Manual.

Epictetus Selections from The Enchiridion Translated by Elizabeth Carter 1. Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions. The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be harmed. Work, therefore to be able to say to every harsh appearance, "You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be." And then examine it by those rules which you have, and first, and chiefly, by this: whether it concerns the things which are in our own control, or those which are not; and, if it concerns anything not in our control, be prepared to say that it is nothing to you.

POWERFUL QUOTES FROM EPICTETUS "Evil does not naturally dwell in the world, in events, or in people. Evil is a by-product of forgetfulness, laziness, or distraction: it arises when we lose sight of our true aim in life. "When we remember that our aim is spiritual progress, we return to striving to be our best selves. This is how happiness is won." "Don't surrender your mind. "If someone were to casually give your body away to any old passerby, you would naturally be furious. "Why then do you feel no shame in giving your precious mind over to any person who might wish to influence you? Think twice before you give up your own mind to someone who may revile you, leaving you confused and upset." "In trying to please other people, we find ourselves misdirected toward what lies outside our sphere of influence. In doing so we lose our hold on our life's purpose. "Content yourself with being a lover of wisdom, a seeker of the truth. Return and return again to what is essential and worthy. "Do not try to seem wise to others.

Epictetus: The fundamentals John Winston Bush, PhD New York Institute for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies The first cognitive behavior therapist , so to speak, in the Western world was the philosopher Epictetus (c. 50–138 AD). He was born a slave in the Greek-speaking Roman province of Phrygia, in what is now central Turkey. One day when Epictetus was working in the fields chained to an iron stake, his master approached him with the idea of tightening his leg shackle. Epictetus suggested that making the shackle tighter was not needed to keep him from running away, but would merely break his leg. The master was not persuaded, and sure enough Epictetus's leg was broken. But he did not protest or give any sign of distress. His master asked him why, and was told that since the leg was already irreversibly broken, there was really no point in getting upset about it. His master was so impressed by this demonstration of unflappability that he eventually set Epictetus free, and sent him away with money so he could become an itinerant philosopher. Epictetus considered this preferable to being a philosopher chained to a stake, and eventually came to Rome, then the capital of the Western world. Among the prominent Romans he influenced was the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Here are some of his most important ideas, which have stood the test of 1,900 years astonishingly well.
