His philosophy centers on what is in our control (our judgments, desires, intentions) and what is not (our bodies, possessions, reputation), arguing that freedom comes from accepting this distinction. This Penguin Classics edition translates his direct, conversational style and includes notes that place his work in Stoic tradition.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eWHY WE PICKED IT\u003cbr\u003eBecause Stoicism has become a contemporary buzzword, but Epictetus offers the real thing: practical philosophy aimed at living well under constraint. \u003cem\u003eDiscourses and Selected Writings\u003c\/em\u003e is a strong pick for philosophy readers, anyone drawn to Stoicism, and readers looking for ancient wisdom that still applies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e• Author: Epictetus\u003cbr\u003e• Publisher: Penguin Classics\u003cbr\u003e• Publication Date: November 25, 2008\u003cbr\u003e• Format: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e• ISBN: 9780140449464\u003cbr\u003e• Ships direct from distributor in 3–7 business days\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45022287036460,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/Screenshot2025-12-03at10.41.30.png?v=1764776496","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/discourses-and-selected-writings","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
