Join Topi Heikkerö for reflections on the central insights of Stoicism. Epictetus’s Handbook (Enchridion) takes us to the pivot of a good life.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor, learned his Stoicism from Epictetus, a former slave. Paradoxical perhaps, but wisdom doesn’t depend on one’s station in life. We shall discuss the Handbook, a short collection of Epictetus’s teachings, put together by Arrian. Our focus will be on understanding human life better, rather than academic goals. This should be rewarding for everyone interested in genuine happiness, self-knowledge or psychological integration.

- Epictetus, Enchridion. Available in Project Gutenberg. All editions are fine. We’ll refer to the text by paragraph numbers and hence pagination isn’t important
