Extractions: Epictetus (c.55 - c.135 C.E.) Epictetus (pronounced Epic-TEE-tus) was an exponent of Stoicism who flourished in the early second century C.E. about four hundred years after the Stoic school of Zeno of Citium was established in Athens. He lived and worked, first as a student in Rome, and then as a teacher with his own school in Nicopolis in Greece. Our knowledge of his philosophy and his method as a teacher comes to us via two works composed by his student Arrian, the Discourses and the Handbook . Although Epictetus based his teaching on the works of the early Stoics (none of which survives) which dealt with the three branches of Stoic thought, logic, physics and ethics, the Discourses and the Handbook concentrate almost exclusively on ethics. The role of the Stoic teacher was to encourage his students to live the philosophic life, whose end was eudaimonia eudaimonia ('happiness') of those who attain this ideal consists of ataraxia (imperturbability), apatheia (freedom from passion), eupatheiai ('good feelings'), and an awareness of, and capacity to attain, what counts as living as a rational being should.

A brief discussion of the life and works of epictetus, with links to electronic texts and additional information.
http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/epit.htm

Extractions: Internet Sources Even though he was born a slave in Hierapolis and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus held that all human beings are perfectly free to control their lives and to live in harmony with nature. After intense study of the traditional Stoic curriculum (established by Zeno of Citium and Chrysippus ) of logic, physics, and ethics, Epictetus spent his entire career teaching philosophy and promoting a daily regime of rigorous self-examination. He eventually gained his freedom, but was exiled from Rome by Domitian in 89. Epictetus's pupil Arrianus later collected lecture notes from the master and published them as the Discourses . The more epigrammatic Encheiridion , or Manual represents an even later distillation of the same material. From a fundamental distinction between our ability to think or feel freely and our lack of control over external events or circumstances, Epictetus derived the description of a calm and disciplined life . We can never fail to be happy, he argued, if we learn to desire that things should be exactly as they are.

Source Epictetus (about 50-130 CE), one of the most influential teachers of Stoicism, is believed to have been born a slave in Phyrigia, Asia Minor, and was given his freedom at perhaps the age of 18. His master, Neros administrative secretary, sent him to be educated by a leading Stoic teacher. When he was about 40, Epictetus was exiled from Rome along with other Stoic philosophers by the Emperor Domitian. He settled in Epirus, in northwestern Greece, where he formed a major Stoic school that attracted students from many parts of the Roman empire. Epictetus lived a frugal life and was said to be lame and in ill health. Because Epictetus did not publish his philosophy, the exposition of his thought comes from class notes made by his pupil Flavius Arrianus. In them, we see a system characterized by morality and humanity that emphasized freedom of thought within the limits of what an individual could influence. This philosophy received some of its impetus from the experience of life within the Roman empire, where an individual might get caught up in many events over which he had no controlsudden exile being but one example. The following paragraphs are extracts from these notes.

Extractions: The early Christian, Origen, quotes an account by Celsus about Epictetus and the greatness of his words under suffering similar to that of Jesus. Celsus wrote, "Take Epictetus, who, when his master was twisting his leg, said, smiling and unmoved, 'You will break my leg;' and when it was broken, he added, 'Did I not tell you that you would break it?'" Epictetus spent the rest of his life with a crippled leg. While a slave Epictetus managed to attend lectures of the Stoic philosopher, Musonius Rufus, who made his listeners feel that they were personally being accused. Epictetus gained his freedom and was expelled from Rome by the emperor Domitian about 90 CE with other philosophers suspected of republicanism.

Extractions: Home Biography Significance Bibliography Epictetus managed to popularize stoic philosophy the way no other man of his time was able to do, (with the possible exception of the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius). He took esoteric ideas and made them understandable on the level of human action. His philosophy taught men how to live and to live well. The Roman mind was greatly attracted to this philosophy because of its emphasis on duty. Christians also found it appealing because much of the tenets of Stoicism are actually quite similar to Christian morality.
