Epictetus (c.55­c.135) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born at Hierapolis, Phrygia, and lived most of his life in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he died. The name given by his parents, if one was given, is not known - the word epiktetos in Greek simply means "acquired." Life Epictetus spent his youth as a slave in Rome to Epaphroditos, a very wealthy freedman of Nero. Even as a slave, Epictetus used his time productively, studying Stoic Philosophy under Musonius Rufus. He was eventually freed and lived a relatively hard life in ill health in Rome. It is known that he became crippled, owing to cruel treatment by his master, Epaphroditus, according to most reports. He was exiled along with other philosophers by the emperor Domitian sometime between 89 and 95. It was Epictetus' exile by Domitian that began what would later come to be the most celebrated part of his life. After his exile, Epictetus traveled to Nicopolis, Greece, where he founded a famed philosophical school. This school was even visited by Hadrian, and its most famous student, Arrian, became a great historian in his own right. True to Stoic form, Epictetus lived a life of great simplicity, marked by teaching and intellectual pursuits. Some claim that he married once, late in life, to help raise a child who would have otherwise been left to die. Others say that he did not marry, and that he had no children.

Epictetus on How the Stoic Sage Loves William O. Stephens While much excellent work has been done on the Stoic doctrine of the emotions in general, and some work on the Stoic concept of friendship, What kind of love is the Stoic Sage ( ) capable of? Seneca reports: Ep. 116. 5, trans. Long and Sedley) A rich but largely neglected source on Stoic love is the late Stoic Epictetus. In Epictetus the Greek terms which comprise the concept of the kind of love of the Stoic Sage are the verbs , and , the noun , and the adjective I wish to show that in Epictetus' view (1) the wise man genuinely loves ( ) and is affectionate ( ) to his family and friends; (2) only power to love ( ); and (3) the Stoic wise man loves in a robustly rational In condemning all as objectionable Epictetus stands with Cicero and with the other Roman Stoics, Seneca and Musonius Rufus, and against the Greeks of the early Stoa. Epictetus' conception of love excludes erotic passion because of its intrinsic excessiveness and uncontrollableness, which inevitably endanger mental serenity, but includes and emphasizes the soberly rational, purely positive joy of interpersonal affiliation. Epictetus' account of how the Stoic Sage loves is, I think, more consistent and less problematic than that of the Greek Stoics.

HOME Articles Book Reviews Features ARTICLES: HOUSE OF SOLITUDE Epictetus (55-135 CE): What is Solitude The Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who composed Discourses and a short philosophical manual called Enchiridion, includes this brief essay as Book 3, chapter 13, of his Discourses. The translation is adapted from George Long. Solitude and the solitary person Solitude is a condition of a helpless person. Just because a person is alone does not mean that he is solitary; just as when one is among many people, he is not therefore accompanied. When we have lost either a brother, or a son, or a friend on whom we were accustomed to repose, we say that we are left solitary though we are often in Rome, though a crowd meet us, though so many live in the same place, and sometimes we have a great number of slaves. Thus the person who is solitary, as it is usually understood, is a helpless person and exposed to those who wish to harm him. For this reason when we travel, we say that we are solitary when we fall among robbers. It is not the sight of a human creature which removes us from solitude, but the sight of one who is faithful and modest and helpful to us. For if being alone is enough to make solitude, you may say that even Zeus is solitary in the conflagration and bewails himself saying, "Unhappy am I who have neither Hera, nor Athena, nor Apollo, nor brother, nor son, nor descendant nor kinsman." This is what some say that he does when he is alone at the conflagration.

The name Epictetus is merely the Greek for "acquired"; his original name is not known. As a boy he was a slave in the house of Epaphroditus, a freedman and courtier of the emperor Nero . He managed, however, to attend the lectures of the Stoic Musonius Rufus, and subsequently became a freedman. He was lame and of weakly health. In 90 he was expelled with the other philosophers by Domitian , who was irritated by the support and encouragement which the opposition to his tyranny found amongst the adherents of Stoicism. For the rest of his life he settled at Nicopolis, in southern Epirus, not far from the scene of the battle of Actium. There for several years he lived, and taught by close earnest personal address and conversation. According to some authorities he lived into the time of Hadrian ; he himself mentions the coinage of the emperor Trajan . His contemporaries and the next generation held his character and teaching in high honor. According to Lucian , the earthenware lamp which had belonged to the sage was bought by an antiquarian for 3000 drachmas. He was never married. He wrote nothing; but much of his teaching was taken down with affectionate care by his pupil Flavius Arrianus, the historian of

Why, what am I?A wretched human creature; with this miserable flesh of mine. Miserable indeed! but you have something better than that paltry flesh of yours.

I heard a noise at the door and on hastening down found my lamp carried off. I reflected that the culprit was in no very strange case. "To-morrow, my friend," I said, "you will find an earthenware lamp; for a man can only lose what he has." XII The reason why I lost my lamp was that the thief was superior to me in vigilance. He paid however this price for the lamp, that in exchange for it he consented to become a thief: in exchange for it, to become faithless.

My sleep was deep, my awakening sudden - I looked around as if I were seeing the bedroom for the first time on a fresh day, as if it were morning. The bed was made. Where was my wife? I ran to our daughter's room. Another bed made, another loved one missing. I looked at the clock. 7:15. First thing in the morning. I raced around the house, grabbed a cell phone and dialed my wife. And only then realized it was two in the afternoon. Wife at work, kid at school, me home. The world as it should be. Only it wasn't. I had seen over the edge, into unspeakable loss. I shook. And spent the rest of the day, in essence, recovering. So why have I now come to praise Epictetus, who said: Remember, when you embrace your child, your husband, your wife, you are embracing a mortal. Thus, if one of them should die, you could bear it with tranquility. Right. Epictetus was a Stoic. The famous one is Marcus Aurelius. Having read his

Sun Jul 16 2000 at 21:46:11 Bear and Forbear Epictetus is considered the most influential philosopher of Stoicism in the Roman Empire . His favourite saying was "Bear and Forbear." This, simply stated, means to bear all that befalls you, and forbear , that is, refrain from replying in any emotional or vengeful manner. In our time, this school of acting has been parodied as,"grin and bear it." Origen relates an anecdote about Epictetus which, if true, illustrates the fortitude of Epictetus. When his master was twisting his leg one day, Epictetus smiled and quietly said, "You will break it"; and when his master did break it, only observed, "Did I not tell you that you would do so?" A More Profound View The starting point for Epictetus is that we cannot control what happens to us. Nor can we control our responses to what happens to us, not our actions, not our feelings. But we can, with practice, control the way we feel about what happens, and what we do. So often, in the

Note that Epictetus was not a Deist and the claim that influenced Deism is nonsense. Epictetus (ca. 55–ca. 135) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia, and lived in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he lived most of his life, and where he died. The name given by his parents, if one was given, is not known - the word epiktetos in Greek simply means "acquired." So far as is known, Epictetus himself wrote nothing. All that remains of his work was transcribed by his pupil Arrian (author of the Anabasis Alexandri). [17] The main work is The Discourses, four books of which have been preserved (out of an original eight). Arrian also compiled a popular digest, entitled the Enchiridion, or Handbook. In a preface to the Discourses, addressed to Lucius Gellius, Arrian states that "whatever I heard him say I used to write down, word for word, as best I could, endeavouring to preserve it as a memorial, for my own future use, of his way of thinking and the frankness of his speech". Epictetus focused more on ethics than the early Stoics had. Repeatedly attributing his ideas to Socrates, he held that our aim was to be masters of our own lives. The role of the Stoic teacher, according to Epictetus, was to encourage his students to learn, first of all, the true nature of things, which is invariable, inviolable and valid for all human beings without exceptions. The ‘nature of things’ is their partition into two categories; those things that are subject to our exclusive power (prohairetic things) and those things that are not subject to our exclusive power (aprohairetic things). The first category of things includes judgment, impulse, desire, aversion, etc. The second category of things, which can also be called adiaphora, includes health, material wealth, fame, etc.
