(Thomas Wentworth) The Enchiridion Stephen Hutcheson, Chris Curnow and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Enchiridion" by Epictetus is a foundational text of Stoic philosophy written during the early Roman Empire, specifically in the 1st century AD. Classified as a philosophical manual, this work serves as a practical guide for advanced students of Stoicism, aiming to cultivate personal freedom and moral integrity through understanding what is within one's control. In "The Enchiridion," Epictetus emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between what is under our control—such as our thoughts, desires, and intentions—and what is not—like wealth, health, and reputation. Through a series of concise teachings, he explains how these distinctions affect our emotional well-being. The text advocates for an attitude of acceptance towards external events while focusing on personal virtues and discipline. It offers practical advice on how to navigate daily life with composure and wisdom, illustrating key Stoic principles such as the necessity of self-control, the transience of life, and the value of living in accordance with nature. Overall, the work encourages readers to take responsibility for their inner lives and reactions, leading to a profound sense of freedom from external influences.
