What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
The fifth edition of George Stanhope's translation, which was first published in 1694.
An English translation of the classical philosophical 'Morals' of Epictetus. In these poems, Epictetus concerns himself with integrity, personal freedom, and self-management.
Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher who was born into slavery. He taught that philosophy is a way of life, and not just a theoretical discipline.
George Stanhope was a clergyman of the Church of England, who held the position of Dean of Canterbury. He was also one of the commissioners responsible for building fifty new churches in London.
With a life of Epictetus, from Monsieur Boileau.
One page of adverts to the rear.
