| Zusammenfassung: | A. A. Long's "Epictetus: A Stoic and Socratic Guide to Life" is the first comprehensive survey of Epictetus's philosophy in English, and very much a guidebook for those new to the philosopher. Epictetus the Socratic dialectician is presented as a serious philosopher worthy of our attention, rather than merely a popular moral preacher. The volume is a most welcome addition to the literature on Stoicism and an invaluable introduction to Epictetus' thought. (Quotes from original text) |
