Translated by Elizabeth Carter Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions. The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find

His teachings were noted down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses . Philosophy, he taught, is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate , and are thus beyond our control, but we can accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. Individuals, however, are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

Home Biography Significance Bibliography Welcome to the Epictetus Website! Epictetus managed to popularize stoic philosophy the way no other man of his time was able to do, (with the possible exception of the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius). He took esoteric ideas and made them understandable on the level of human action. His philosophy taught men how to live and to live well. The Roman mind was greatly attracted to this philosophy because of its emphasis on duty. Christians also found it appealing because much of the tenets of Stoicism are actually quite similar to Christian morality. This site explores some of the ideas of Epictetus and Stoicism and illustrates their influence on the way we think today.

Epictetus (c.55-135) Stoic philosopher from Hierapolis (today's Turkey) who originally was a slave to one of emperor Neros men. He managed to buy his freedom, and moved to Greece after this. Epictetus wrote about morality and humanity, and said there are two things one should learn in order to lead a rightheous life: to endure and to abstain. He believed there was a benevolent power that ultimately led everything to good. Before going to Greece he taught in Rome for some time, but was exiled by the emperor Domitian in AD 90 who was afraid of the stoic techings. Epictetus went to live in Nicopolis on Epirus, where he spent the rest of his life. Epictetus taught that humans were irrational beings, unable to control their destiny, but that the universe was unlimited and ruled by the pure reason of God. People must calmly accept their own powerlessness before fate. Also, he taught, humans must be tolerant of each others faults, since we are all so imperfect. "One must not tie a ship
