  • This is my narration of The Discourses of Epictetus
    The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical. He directs his students to focus attention on their opinions, anxieties, passions and desires, so that "they may never fail to get what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid." True education lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us, and in learning to correctly assent or dissent to external impressions. The purpose of his teaching was to make people free and happy.
    This is my own recording of Book 1/4 of The Discourses of Epictetus.

    summary
    Epictetus believed that the key to a happy life is to focus on what is within our control and to accept what is outside of our control.
    He taught that we should not be attached to external things, such as wealth or status, but rather we should focus on developing our inner character and virtues.
    Epictetus believed that we should strive to be virtuous in all aspects of our lives, including our thoughts, actions, and emotions.
    He taught that we should be mindful of our thoughts and emotions, and that we should strive to cultivate a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

    Tied to many things.. entanglement, in the hindu tradition i recall that wisdom is basically add or something of that nature as well, with overlap there....so to be the wisest you could be add, because then you wont be attached to the fruits of what your wisdom puts out, after being a jack of all trades but a master of none...

    *Fun Fact* : "Epictetus" is just a nickname, wich in greek means "obtained" (which is obvious a reference that he was a slave). Furthermore, Epictetus never had a real name, he just lived with this horrible description.

      The same's true of quite a few of 'em. Both the Greeks and the Romans had a convention of nicknames (the Romans called it a _cognomen_ - 'name you're known by' - as opposed to the _praenomen_ and _nomen_ which are generally more formal... that said, not all cognomina were nicknames).
      For example Marcus Tullius _Cicero_ is a reference to _cicer_ 'chickpea' - one of Cicero's forebears had a growth the size of a chickpea on his nose.
      As for the ancient Greeks, compound names were pretty common (and made good nicknames). Polykrates = "much power"; Demosthenes = "people strength"; Demotimos = 'people honour'; Diogenes = 'God born'.
      Others were obviously nicknames and referred to personal characteristics: Plato derives from _platys_ 'broad' and was a reference to Plato's broad shoulders (he was a wrestler in his youth).
      Aeschylus derives from _aischros_ ('ugly'); Gorgias from gorgos ('grim'); Simos ('snub nose'); Kopreus ("shitty" - probably an affectionate nickname meaning 'shithead').
      Much _much_ more recently, a Greek friend of mine's family name is 'Siouclis' because one of his forebears had a limp, and another's is 'Mavromatis' ("black eyes").
      BTW... Some Americans currently have an infatuation with Roman (i.e., late, watered-down, Imperialist) Stoicism, because they associate it with "martial virtue" because of Marcus Aurelius. If they were genuinely interested in ethics rather than justification of militarism, they would be better-served to investigate the Early Stoa (Chrysippus and earlier) - which is antiwar, anti-slavery, pro-equality, pro-vegetarianism and (largely) atheist. Still, even _Stoicism Lite_ represents an attempt at an ethical framework worth pursuing.

    The single dislike of this video is there for a good reason.
    It's a simple yet subtle test - a raised finger; for one cannot help seeing this thumb down and wonder, 'who on gods Earth would dislike this?'
    But it is of absolutely no impotence to you and should have no impact on your appreciation.

      Or by examining this dislike, he sees that there is always room to improve. But never taking in the dislike as something negative, for it is an external.
