Extractions: HAVE I ever been restrained from what I willed? Or compelled against my will? How is this possible? I have arranged my pursuits under the direction of God. Is it His will that I should have a fever? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should pursue anything? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should desire? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should obtain anything? It is mine too. Is it not His will? It is not mine. Is it His will that I should be tortured? Then it is my will to be tortured. Is it His will that I should die? Then it is my will to die. He has given me whatever depends upon choice. The things in my power He has made incapable of hindrance or restraint. But how could He make a body of clay incapable of hindrance? Therefore He hath subjected my body, possessions, furniture, house, children, wife, to the revolution of the universe. He who gave takes away. For whence had I these things when I came into the world?

The Significance Of Epictetus!
epictetus was the great popularizer of Stoic Philosophy. Find out more at The epictetus Website!
http://www.biblestudyinfo.com/epictetus/index.shtml

Extractions: Home Biography Significance Bibliography 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.

http://www.bookrags.com/biography/epictetus/

Extractions: Encyclopedia of World Biography on Epictetus Epictetus (ca. 50-ca. 135) was a Greek philosopher who believed that man should concern himself only with what he can control and suffer what he cannot influence. Epictetus was born a slave in Hierapolis, Asia Minor. Early in life he was brought to Rome and, while still a slave, was sent by his master Epaphroditus (probably the famous freedman of Nero) to study under the Stoic philosopher Gaius Musonius Rufus. Some time after the death of Nero (68) Epictetus was freed. He had a physical disability from an early age, and one ancient source suggests that this was the result of brutal treatment received while he was a slave. Perhaps as a result of criticizing the tyranny of Emperor Domitian, Epictetus along with other philosophers was expelled by the Emperor, probably in 89. He settled in the town of Nicopolis in Epirus, and soon people from all over the Roman world were coming to hear him. One of these was apparently Emperor Hadrian, another was the young Arrian, the future historian.

He was born in Asia Minor. He was a slave that gained his freedom and lived and taught in the city of Rome until A.D. 89 when the emperor Domitian expelled all the philosophers. He spent the remainder of his life teaching in the city of Nicopolis in Greece. He believed and taught that we should be happy with the way events occur in our life. He felt that a divine providence governs our life and events occur for a reason that our beyond our understanding. Everything that occurs in our life he said occurs for a reason even if it does not appear so at the time. In fact, even if the worst occurs it occurs for the best even if we do not feel like this at the time. He believed that we should not try to control events but rather that we should accept them, and then go on with our lives. To him only the ignorant and foolish could not accept events which were clearly beyond their control. He was a true Stoic, and believed that all should face misfortunes no matter how bad they possibly could be with calmness.

http://brewster.wordpress.com/

Extractions: Epictetus has previously noted that there is nothing on "The Sopranos" that's simple filler; what might look throwaways are usually, in fact, crucial clues, significant details, or indicators of what might lie in store. Or, they function to underscore and deepen character and long-standing themes. Whether it's camera angle, snippet of dialogue, or reaction shot, there's something meaningful to be gleaned; there is always more than meets the eye. Other notes: Is Tony as liquid as we've been led to believe? His hospital stay put the issue out there, and it was touched on again when Tony winced at AJ's comment: "But you have all the money in the world!" And lest anyone think children don't notice the habits of their parents, AJ's comment about Tony's bowl of ice cream was perfect–much more real, much more authentic, and much less sentimental than any of the prefab crap about Godfather I and II. And the ever-blanker looks on AJ's face with each mention of his father by his club-kid friends were simple proof of the pain at the core. Small moments, all of them, and as in the best of art they tell us big truths. The secret is in the precision of detail. Forget the broad gestures and potential whacks; focus on the fine points. And always be suspicious when small towns are shot in soft focus.
Epictetus: Enchiridion - Flowered Version
epictetus was a Stoic philosopher. The Enchiridion is an extraction from the more extencive collection Diatribes (or Discourses), put together post mortem
http://home.nvg.org/~aga/stories/enchiridion.html

Extractions: With regard to whatever objects give you delight, are useful, or are deeply loved, remember to tell yourself of what general nature they are, beginning from the most insignificant things. If, for example, you are fond of a specific ceramic cup, remind yourself that it is only ceramic cups in general of which you are fond. Then, if it breaks, you will not be disturbed. If you kiss your child, or your wife, say that you only kiss things which are human, and thus you will not be disturbed if either of them dies. When you are going about any action, remind yourself what nature the action is. If you are going to bathe, picture to yourself the things which usually happen in the bath: some people splash the water, some push, some use abusive language, and others steal. Thus you will more safely go about this action if you say to yourself, "I will now go bathe, and keep my own mind in a state conformable to nature." And in the same manner with regard to every other action. For thus, if any hindrance arises in bathing, you will have it ready to say, "It was not only to bathe that I desired, but to keep my mind in a state conformable to nature; and I will not keep it if I am bothered at things that happen. Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things. Death, for instance, is not terrible, else it would have appeared so to Socrates. But the terror consists in our notion of death that it is terrible. When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles. An uninstructed person will lay the fault of his own bad condition upon others. Someone just starting instruction will lay the fault on himself. Some who is perfectly instructed will place blame neither on others nor on himself.

Gill Imagine someone's twisting your leg. It hurts. "If you don't stop you'll break it," you warn him. A few moments later you calmly say, "See, I told you you'd break it." It's for just such stoicism that the philosopher Epictetus is remembered. Epictetus was born a slave in Phrygia but came to Rome. Eventually he won his freedom from his crippling, abusive master and left Rome because of Domitian's edict against philosophers. The date of this edict (89) is the only firm date we have for Epictetus, but it is thought he lived from c.55-c.135 A.D. As a stoic, Epictetus thought man should be concerned solely with will, which alone he can control. External events are beyond such control.

http://www.whitworth.edu/Core/Classes/CO250/Greece/Data/d_epict.htm

Extractions: Epictetus was born a slave in Hierapolis, a small town in Phrygia, Asia Minor (in present-day Turkey). His master was Epaphroditus, a member of Emperor Nero's personal staff in Rome . As was often done at that time, Epaphroditus saw to it that Epictetus had a good education, sending him to study with the Roman Stoic , Rufus. Founded by Zeno of Citium (336-265 B.C.), the Stoic school received its name from the columned "porch" stoa, where Zeno had taught. The Stoics held that human life should be lived in harmony with nature, regardless of what life may bring: a reassuring doctrine for a slave such as Epictetus. But Epictetus did not remain a slave, gaining his freedom sometime after the death of Nero in A.D. 68. He began to teach until A.D. 89 or 93 when Emperor Domitian expelled all the philosophers from Rome . Domitian seems to have been especially angry with the Stoics for teaching that sovereignty comes from God and is for the benefit of the people. (Epictetus' reported claim that he had the same regard for the emperor as for his water-pot could not have helped.) Epictetus moved to Nicropolis in Epirus (northwestern Greece), where he established a thriving
Ziniewicz On Epictetus And The Stoics
Commentary by Dr. Gordon L. Ziniewicz on epictetus and the Stoics.
http://www.fred.net/tzaka/stoics.html

Extractions: by Gordon L. Ziniewicz Question: The Stoics had high regard for Socrates. In the light of what you know about Socrates, explain how the "inner" and the "outer" were distinguished by Socrates. Question: Explain how the "individualism" of the Stoics goes beyond what Socrates might have intended. Remember that for Socrates the polis or the city or one's immediate social context (and nomoi) were very important. Keep in mind that for the Stoics the Roman Empire, not individual Greek city-states, was the backdrop for moral and political action. 4. Thus, the Stoic does not have to seek refuge in a safe haven apart from political affairs. His "garden" is his mind. He can immerse himself in practical affairs and still remain mentally calm, as God involves himself in Nature but remains aloof and detached. One can be mentally withdrawn and politically active at the same time (though Epictetus chose to avoid politics). Disturbance is due, not to external events, but to our judgment with regard to (attitude toward) external events. Question: Explain the difference between the "garden" of the Stoics and the "Garden" of the Epicureans. What is the basis of their difference?

When he was young he was a slave in Rome but was later released and started to teach philosophy first in Rome and later on in Greece. Epictetus was somewhat of a lonesome minimalist. He lived with few possessions and by himself for a long time. He also seems to never have written anything, but luckily his thoughts were recorded by his pupil Arrian. Here are seven excellent pearls of wisdom from Epictetus. If you are going your own way, prepare for reactions. âIf you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.â
