He obtained his freedom sometime after the death of Nero in 68 AD and later began teaching in Rome until his banishment from the city around 93 AD, after which he travelled to Nicopolis in Greece and carried on teaching there for the remainder of his days. His teachings were written down and published by his pupil Arrian in 'The Discourses' and later summarised in 'The Enchiridion'. They have been influential since they were written and are referenced frequently by Marcus Aurelius in his Meditations. Epictetus puts a strong focus on philosophy being practiced as a way of life, and not just a theoretical consideration. He also emphasises that many events are largely beyond our control and so we should learn to accept events calmly and dispassionately and instead put our focus on our own actions. This recording includes the Discourses and accompanying fragments. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Ethics|vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Philosophy|vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Conduct of life|vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Ethics, Ancient. 650 1 Thanksgiving Day. 650 1 Songs. 700 1 Long, George,|d1800-1879,|etranslator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 830 0 Life and light books. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14254011?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ aut_9781662193392_180.jpeg
