Epictetus b. AD 55,, probably at Hierapolis, Phrygia [now Pamukkale, Turkey] d. c. 135,, Nicopolis, Epirus [Greece] Greek philosopher associated with the Stoics , remembered for the religious tone of his teachings, which commended him to numerous early Christian thinkers. His original name is not known; epiktetos is the Greek word meaning "acquired." As a boy he was a slave but managed to attend lectures by the Stoic Musonius Rufus. He later became a freedman and lived his life lame and in ill health. In AD 90 he was expelled from Rome with other philosophers by the emperor Domitian, who was irritated by the favourable reception given by Stoics to opponents of his tyranny. The rest of his life Epictetus spent at Nicopolis. As far as is known, Epictetus wrote nothing. His teachings were transmitted by Arrian, his pupil, in two works: Discourses, of which four books are extant; and the Encheiridion , or Manual, a condensed aphoristic version of the main doctrines. In his teachings Epictetus followed the early rather than the late Stoics, reverting to Socrates and to Diogenes , the philosopher of Cynicism, as historical models of the sage. Primarily interested in ethics, Epictetus described philosophy as learning "how it is possible to employ desire and aversion without hindrance." True education, he believed, consists in recognizing that there is only one thing that belongs to an individual fully his will, or purpose. God, acting as a good king and father, has given each being a will that cannot be compelled or thwarted by anything external. Men are not responsible for the ideas that present themselves to their consciousness, though they are wholly responsible for the way in which they use them. "Two maxims," Epictetus said:

Search: Math and Natural Sciences Applied Arts Social Sciences Culture ... Interdisciplinary Categories Epictetus 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 (c. 55-c. 135 AD) Philosopher from The Enchiridion (c. 135) as translated by Elizabeth Carter " Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in aword, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whateverare not our own actions." (1) "Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things." (5) "With every accident, ask yourself what abilities you have for making a proper use of it. If you see an attractive person,you will find that self-restraint is the ability you have against your desire. If you are in pain, you will find fortitude. Ifyou hear unpleasant language, you will find patience. And thus habituated, the appearances of things will not hurry you awayalong with them. " (10) "When you do anything from a clear judgment that it ought to be done, never shun the being seen to do it, even though theworld should make a wrong supposition about it; for, if you don't act right, shun the action itself; but, if you do, why are youafraid of those who censure you wrongly?"

Discourses is wonderful book on many levels. It is disorganized and at times anachronistic, but it is well worth reading. It is one of the most comforting books to read if you having trouble in your life. It should be required reading for anyone who is depressed. His simple lessons allow one to overcome fear and recognize real priorities. His style ranges from brilliant clear logic to deeply and beautifully spiritual. Thus he reaches the skeptical critical thinker as well as the more emotional type. The book is also a window into the mindset of the Roman Empire in the first century. Though Epictetus was a pagan his concept of God is very Monotheistic. Clearly stoic thought and philosopy influenced early Christians. Interestingly Epictetus argues that we ought to live a way of life that is very similar to what Christianity prescribes. Forgivness of self and others is just one of the similarities. However, he argues not that each of us carries original sin, but that each of us carries a spark of divinity: We have been given understanding and intelligence to recognize right from wrong as well as the ability to choose. The shear wonder of this gift and of creation in general motivates us to choose right, not fear of Hell or desire for Heaven.

Organized at Athens in the third century B.C.E. (310 BC) by Zeno of Citium and Chrysippus, the Stoics provided a unified account of the world that comprised formal logic, materialistic physics, and naturalistic ethics. Later Roman Stoics emphasized more exclusively the development of recommendations for living in harmony with a natural world over which one has no direct control. Their group would meet upon the porch of the market at Athens, the stoa poecile. The name stoicism derives from the greek stoa meaning porch.

70. Stoicism, Epictetus, And Joe Gargery Bear and Forbear Stoicism, epictetus, and Joe Gargary Michele Fratarcangeli. Charles Dickens fills Great Expectations with characters http://www.umd.umich.edu/casl/hum/eng/classes/434/geweb/fratarcangeli1.htm

Bear and Forbear: Stoicism, Epictetus, and Joe Gargary Michele Fratarcangeli Charles Dickens fills Great Expectations with characters that desire to control change, yet all are unable to achieve their desired result. Mrs. Joe wants to control everything connected with her household. Miss Havisham wants to control love. Pip wants to control the outcome of his life. This obsession with change is reflective of the great social and economic changes occurring at the time Dickens was writing this novel. The character of Joe Gargary, in contrast, does not want control anything other than his own thoughts and actions. With this rather Stoic attitude, Joe appears to be one of the few characters in the novel who is allowed to experience happiness and contentment. As Douglas J. Soccio explains in Archetypes of Wisdom: An Introduction to Philosophy , “the Stoic is indifferent to self (ego)” (214). Joe displays this indifference through his satisfaction with his profession as blacksmith and his life on the marshes. Soccio defines Stoicism as the “philosophy that counsels self-control, detachment, and acceptance of one’s fate as identified by the objective use of reason” (Soccio 203). Joe Gargary exemplifies this philosophy in his attitude toward Pip, Mrs. Joe, and life on the marshes. There are two names commonly associated with Stoic philosophy, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, the former more with living life and the latter more with fighting war. Epictetus, (50-150), a Roman slave who became a philosopher, had as his motto, “

breadCrumbs("foucault.info"," : ","","None","None","None","0"); document.write (document.title); A third text, which also shows some of the differences in the truth games involved in these self-examination exercises, comes from the Discourses of Epictetus -where I think you can find a third type of exercise quite different from the previous ones. There are numerous types of self-examination techniques and practices in Epictetus, some of them resembling both the evening examinations of Sextius and the general self-scrutiny of Serenus. But there is one form of examination which, I think, is very characteristic of Epictetus, and which takes the form of a constant putting on trial of all our representations. This technique is also related to the demand for stability; for given the constant stream of representations which flow into the mind, Epictetus' problem consists in knowing how to distinguish those representations that he can control from those that he cannot control, that incite involuntary emotions, feelings, behavior, etc., and which must therefore be excluded from his mind. Epictetus' solution is that we must adopt an attitude of permanent surveillance with regard to all our representations, and he explains this attitude by employing two metaphors: the metaphor of the nightwatchman or doorkeeper who does not admit anyone into his house or palace without first checking his identity; and the metaphor of the "money-changer" who, when a coin is very difficult to read, verifies the authenticity of the currency, examines it, weighs it, verifies the metal and effigy, and so on.
