Book Description

Dover Philosophical Classics May 17, 2004
The ne plus ultra of Stoicism, Discourses outline clear-cut principles of right conduct and true thinking, offering secular thinkers a mode of reasoning that dismisses the strictures of absolutism and emotionalism in exchange for a more peaceful and productive life. The Discourses report wide-ranging discussions between Epictetus and his students.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Cover, but disappointing translation, September 23, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Discourses (Paperback)
The text was downloaded from some Internet site, enlarged, which is okay, but contains no references or commentary. Therefore, I decided to go with Harvard's Loeb Classics to purchase the two volumes of Epictetus' Discourses. They are fantastic, and you can get them through Amazon.com!
