A Selection From The Discourses Of Epictetus With The Encheiridion is a book that contains a collection of teachings by the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus. The book is divided into two parts, the first being a selection of Epictetus' discourses, which were transcribed by his student Arrian. These discourses cover a wide range of topics, including ethics, morality, and the nature of reality. The second part of the book is the Encheiridion, which is a short manual on Stoic philosophy that was also written by Epictetus. The Encheiridion provides practical advice on how to live a virtuous life, and it has been widely read and studied by philosophers and scholars throughout history. Overall, this book is an excellent introduction to the teachings of Epictetus and the Stoic philosophy that he espoused.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
