HarperCollins is thrilled to showcase its remarkable collection of beloved and indispensable classics. The profound teachings of the esteemed Stoic philosopher Epictetus are widely recognized as some of the most influential and transformative doctrines of ancient times. Hailing from a humble background as a slave and enduring exile before establishing a philosophical school, Epictetus delivered a series of lectures that emphasized the pursuit of genuine happiness. He argued that true contentment arises from our ability to discern between what lies within our control and what surpasses our personal sphere.

In this edition, we present a selection of Epictetus' fundamental principles, meticulously translated by George Long in 1890. Alongside this core philosophy, the Encheiridion, we offer a comprehensive manual that delves into the intricacies of Epictetus' thought. With unparalleled clarity, conviction, and timeless wisdom, these teachings navigate the complexities of the human condition and provide rational guidance for the challenges of modern life. Whether you are seeking wisdom, inspiration, or a deeper understanding of the human experience, HarperCollins' collection of Epictetus' works is a treasure trove that will enrich your intellectual journey for years to come.
