by Epictetus
On This Page
Description
Born a slave, Epictetus rose to be one of the leading philosophers of the early Roman Empire period. Due to his Greek birth, Epictetus serves as a bridge between classic Greek philosophy and the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius. Since his philosophy hinges on the knowledge of self as the source of all wisdom, it remains relevant today.Tags
