About Epictetus

Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale, Turkey), and lived in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he lived most of his life and died. His teachings were noted down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses.

Și atunci - mă întreb - de c......more

Învățăturile stoicului Epictet (50 - 135) au fost consemnate de ucenicii lui: s-au păstrat notele lui Arrian. Sclav eliberat (de Epaphroditos, unul dintre secretarii lui Nero), Epictet a trăit din lecțiile date discipolilor. Cînd filosofii au fost izgoniți din Roma (în anul 93), s-a stabilit într-o......more
