DISCOURSES, FRAGMENTS, HANDBOOK OWC

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!

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!
