    Extractions: Note that Epictetus was not a Deist and the claim that influenced Deism is nonsense. Epictetus (ca. 55–ca. 135) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia, and lived in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he lived most of his life, and where he died. The name given by his parents, if one was given, is not known - the word epiktetos in Greek simply means "acquired." So far as is known, Epictetus himself wrote nothing. All that remains of his work was transcribed by his pupil Arrian (author of the Anabasis Alexandri). [17] The main work is The Discourses, four books of which have been preserved (out of an original eight). Arrian also compiled a popular digest, entitled the Enchiridion, or Handbook. In a preface to the Discourses, addressed to Lucius Gellius, Arrian states that "whatever I heard him say I used to write down, word for word, as best I could, endeavouring to preserve it as a memorial, for my own future use, of his way of thinking and the frankness of his speech". Epictetus focused more on ethics than the early Stoics had. Repeatedly attributing his ideas to Socrates, he held that our aim was to be masters of our own lives. The role of the Stoic teacher, according to Epictetus, was to encourage his students to learn, first of all, the true nature of things, which is invariable, inviolable and valid for all human beings without exceptions. The ‘nature of things’ is their partition into two categories; those things that are subject to our exclusive power (prohairetic things) and those things that are not subject to our exclusive power (aprohairetic things). The first category of things includes judgment, impulse, desire, aversion, etc. The second category of things, which can also be called adiaphora, includes health, material wealth, fame, etc.

Why, what am I?A wretched human creature; with this miserable flesh of mine. Miserable indeed! but you have something better than that paltry flesh of yours. Why then cling to the one, and neglect the other? X Thou art but a poor soul laden with a lifeless body. XI The other day I had an iron lamp placed beside my household gods. I heard a noise at the door and on hastening down found my lamp carried off. I reflected that the culprit was in no very strange case. "To-morrow, my friend," I said, "you will find an earthenware lamp; for a man can only lose what he has." XII The reason why I lost my lamp was that the thief was superior to me in vigilance. He paid however this price for the lamp, that in exchange for it he consented to become a thief: in exchange for it, to become faithless.

Epictetus taught that humans were irrational beings, unable to control their destiny, but that the universe was unlimited and ruled by the pure reason of God. People must calmly accept their own powerlessness before fate. Also, he taught, humans must be tolerant of each others faults, since we are all so imperfect.

    Extractions: Epictetus Born in the year 55, Epictetus was a Greek philosopher in the Stoic tradition. He began his life as a slave in Rome, but after his release and eventual exile to Nicopolis, a city in northwestern Greece, he flourished as an instructor of philosophy. He opened his own school, based on the knowledge of earlier Stoicism that he had gained under the tutelage of Musonius Rufus. All that is known of the teachings of Epictetus come from two main sources: the Discourses and the Handbook. The Discourses are the more philosophical and academic of the two works. Neither were written by Epictetus himself, but rather by his student Arrian, who states that he wrote them in an attempt to capture word for word the lectures given by his mentor. Reading through them one notes that, although Epictetus falls squarely within the Stoic tradition, he concentrated almost solely on the subject of ethics (i.e. discovering how to live one’s life well), whereas his predecessors had divided their time between ethics, natural philosophy and logic. He believed that the purpose of philosophy is not mere inquiry, but rather to discover the best way to live a human life. For Epictetus, philosophy was the discovery of the nature of man and his place in nature, not for its own sake, but for the sake of living a life of eudaimonia (meaning happiness). Eudaimonia requires living a life that is in harmony with both one’s own nature and the larger natural world of which one is a part. Under this view, reason is a tool for discovering the nature of things which is only the first step towards virtue. To attain virtue, one must also develop habits that accord with the discoveries made via reason.
