DISCOURSES, FRAGMENTS, HANDBOOK OWC

This is such a book that has the potential to change your life completely, for better of course. To have a complete understanding of the discourses, you definitely require its more than one readings. Firstly, I thoroughly read the Penguin edition and then decided to go for a different translation for the second reading. I found this translation far better than the other one. It also has more clarity, better introduction and explanatory notes. This translation is complete whereas Penguin edition leaves certain 'repetitive' parts. That is not to imply that Penguin edition is not good, but Oxford one is certainly better.

Truely enlightening, but, as said in the book, it's not enough just to read the philosophy, it's important to apply it our lives everyday. To become better human beings. Once we apply stoic philosophy to our lives, we become immune, absolutely IMMUNE, to external "harm".

Just AMAZING! , I flipped open a random page and started reading, and was inspired to another level, awesome book quality and condition 🙏

If you’re looking at this image, then congratulations—you’re going to become a new person after reading this masterpiece of a book. I just want to tell you: don’t waste your time—start reading Discourses by Epictetus. ✨

I bought this book as I heard Robin Hard's translation of Epictetus' discourse is better than other translations. Good translation but the quality of print is bad. Expected a better quality of paper, binding and legible typesetting. Disappointed!

You don't like war, you don't like violence, you're exhausted from struggling against political power and obnoxious people. How do you convince yourself to take a step back, without abandoning your principles? This is a good book to help with that. BONUS: You don't need to read it cover-to-cover, but can flip open anywhere and start reading. The author wanted discipline but was also obviously a realist about how much time attention span we can spare for him.

Epicteto, el esclavo liberado, máximo estoico en práctica. Buena edición de Oxford que contiene la obra completa del filósofo, además de fragmentos recopilados de otros autores donde hacen mención de sus humildes enseñanzas.

How many ways can I sing praises for this translation of the Discourses? 1. It is a great size to tote around anywhere much better than the knock off public domain translations and even though it is bigger than the Everymans translation it is softcover and all in one book instead of two. 2. It uses modern English and there are great notes to back it up. Gill and Hard used the ideas of AA Long and really help you get so much more out of the Discourses. Plus all other writings are there too fragments and the Handbook too!!!!! There are no errors and typos like many of the other books and it is just plain fun to read. The 2 number one books are Oldfather's and this one by Hard in my opinion.

Quite poor print quality (text is not at all sharp and has shadowing). I suggest considering a different edition.

The book is perfect, a true treasure of Stoicism, a 'must-read' for anyone looking to apply Stoicism in their life and who wants to dive even deeper into this philosophy. The quality of the book, such as the cover and pages, is also very pleasant. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.
