Please feel free to browse: Selections from The Enchiridion: Part One Part Two Part Three Epictetus Epictetus, who lived from around 55 A.D. until 135 A.D., was a Roman slave who emerged as a respected member of the spiritually-themed Stoic school of philosophy (see SpiritSite.com's Marcus Aurelius page as well). Epictetus wrote extensively on the nature of thought and the process of interpretation. He was quick to point out that we never respond directly to an event, but only to our opinions about that event. "If Socrates didn't fear death," he said by way of example, "then death itself must not be inherently frightening." Epictetus postulated that it was our interpretations of events, rather than the events themselves, that affected us. One of the most famous of Epictetus's surviving works is the Enchiridion ( review or buy , or handbook. The ideas in the

82. Epictetus: The Discourses, Book One, Chapter 22 epictetus The Discourses. Book One, Chapter 22 On precognitions. Precognitions are common to all men, and precognition is not contradictory to precognition. http://www.szymona.net/philosophy/texts/epictetus/book1/ch22.php

Epictetus: The Discourses Book One, Chapter 22 On precognitions What then is education? Education is the learning how to adapt the natural precognitions to the particular things conformably to nature; and then to distinguish that of things some are in our power, but others are not; in our power are will and all acts which depend on the will; things not in our power are the body, the parts of the body, possessions, parents, brothers, children, country, and, generally, all with whom we live in society. In what, then, should we place the good? To what kind of things shall we adapt it? "To the things which are in our power?" Is not health then a good thing, and soundness of limb, and life? and are not children and parents and country? Who will tolerate you if you deny this? What should we do then? This is the inquiry of the true philosopher who is in labour. "Now I do not see what the Good is nor the Bad. Am I not mad? Yes." But suppose that I place the good somewhere among the things which depend on the will: all will laugh at me. There will come some grey-head wearing many gold rings on his fingers and he will shake his head and say, "Hear, my child. It is right that you should philosophize; but you ought to have some brains also: all this that you are doing is silly. You learn the syllogism from philosophers; but you know how to act better than philosophers do." Man, why then do you blame me, if I know? What shall I say to this slave? If I am silent, he will burst. I must speak in this way: "Excuse me, as you would excuse lovers: I am not my own master: I am mad."

X Thou art but a poor soul laden with a lifeless body. XI The other day I had an iron lamp placed beside my household gods. I heard a noise at the door and on hastening down found my lamp carried off. I reflected that the culprit was in no very strange case. "To-morrow, my friend," I said, "you will find an earthenware lamp; for a man can only lose what he has." XII The reason why I lost my lamp was that the thief was superior to me in vigilance. He paid however this price for the lamp, that in exchange for it he consented to become a thief: in exchange for it, to become faithless. XIII But God hath introduced Man to be a spectator of Himself and of His works; and not a spectator only, but also an interpreter of them. Wherefore it is a shame for man to begin and to leave off where the brutes do. Rather he should begin there, and leave off where Nature leaves off in us: and t Total downloads: 18 Epictetus at Wikipedia.org

90. Epictetus REAL HISTORY. epictetus (c.55AD c. 135AD). Many great men lived in Ancient Greece and Rome, but, of them all, perhaps epictetus was one of the wisest. http://www.jamboree.freedom-in-education.co.uk/real_history/epictetus.htm

REAL HISTORY Epictetus (c.55AD - c. 135AD) “Do not ask things to happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go smoothly.” Many great men lived in Ancient Greece and Rome, but, of them all, perhaps Epictetus was one of the wisest. He was born into slavery, and it is said that while he was still young his owner punished him by stretching his leg on the rack. “If you stretch it any further you will break it,” said Epictetus quietly, and then added – “there, I told you!” Later he was taken to Rome, at that time the capital of a vast empire, and became a slave of Epaphroditus, an important Roman in the service of Emperor Nero. This man sent Epictetus to study philosophy with a teacher called Musonius Rufus. In later years Epictetus spoke with affection and respect of this teacher, and it seems likely that he was an exceptional student. That same year he managed to gain his liberty, and began to teach philosophy himself. When the new emperor, an ignorant and suspicious man, banished all the philosophers from Rome, Epictetus left, and went to live in Nicopolis, a city on the coast of Greece. Here he established a place where people could come to ask him questions and hear him speak. Those who wished to, became his pupils but, unlike other teachers of the time, Epictetus encouraged his students to become familiar with their own selves, rather than the philosophical texts.

Epictetus Quotations It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse. Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a part as it may please the master to assign you, for a long time or for a little as he may choose. And if he will you to take the part of a poor man, or a cripple, or a ruler, or a private citizen, then may you act that part with grace! For to act well the part that is allotted to us, that indeed is ours to do, but to choose it is another's. You are a little soul carrying around a corpse. You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself. I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.

It is turbulent and muddy; hard to pass and masterful of mood: noisy and of brief continuance. II The soul that companies with Virtue is like an ever-flowing source. It is a pure, clear, and wholesome draught; sweet, rich, and generous of its store; that injures not, neither destroys. III It is a shame that one who sweetens his drink with the gifts of the bee, should embitter God's gift Reason with vice. IV Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind. V Keep neither a blunt knife nor an ill-disciplined looseness of tongue. VI Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak. VII Do not give sentence in another tribunal till you have been yourself judged in the tribunal of Justice. VIII It is shameful for a Judge to be judged by others.
