Epictetus, a prominent figure in ancient philosophy, was born around 55 AD and lived until approximately 135 AD. A former slave, he became a renowned Stoic philosopher, profoundly influencing the development of Stoicism. His teachings emphasized the importance of personal freedom and self-discipline, advocating that individuals should focus on what is within their control and accept what is not. Epictetus did not pen any texts himself; instead, his discourses and teachings were recorded by his pupil Arrian. The core of his philosophy is encapsulated in the famous work "Enchiridion," a manual for living a life aligned with Stoic principles. Epictetus' philosophy has endured through the centuries, impacting countless individuals seeking wisdom on resilience, personal freedom, and the art of living.
