Bag om Epictetus' Handbook and the Tablet of Cebes

This new translation of Epictetus' "Handbook "brings his ancient teachings to those who wish to live the philosophic life by finding a way to live happily in the world without being overwhelmed by it. This modern English translation of the complete "Handbook "is supported by the first thorough commentary since that of Simplicius, 1500 years ago, along with a detailed introduction, extensive glossary, index of key terms, and helpful tables that clarify Stoic ethical doctrines as a glance. Accompanying the "Handbook "is the "Tablet of Cebes," a curious and engaging text from an unknown author. In complete contrast to the "Handbook"'s more conventional philosophical presentation, the "Tablet "is an allegory that shows progress to philosophical wisdom as a journey through a landscape inhabited by personifications of Happiness, Fortune, the Virtues and Vices.
