Epictetus: The Enchiridion – The handbook of moral instructions: A manual of stoic philosophy

Epictetus was one of the main voices of the philosophy of the Stoa, and as such most influentia. His 'Enchiridion', or handbook, is a manual for practical philosophy. It offers carefully worded instructions for an ethical, sustained way of life. A very old text – but true to this very day and age!
