Overview
Enchiridion is one of the foundational works of Stoic philosophy. Epictetus was among the most influential Stoic philosophers of the Roman Empire, living approximately two thousand years ago. He was enslaved, disabled, and later gained his freedom. His teachings on freedom, discipline, and good character remain remarkably resonant in modern life.
Enchiridion is a handbook compiled from the teachings of Epictetus by his student Arrian. Its principles center on what is within our control and what is not, and how our judgments, desires, aversions, and actions comprise our character.
For millennia, the classic works of Stoicism have been inherited, translated, and carried forward through a masculine voice. Men were the philosophers, the students, the leaders, the athletes, the fathers, and the stories. Masculine pronouns stood for humanity as a whole. Yet Stoicism was never meant to belong only to men.
Enchiridion: The Feminine Stoic Edition preserves the Stoic philosophy of Epictetus, with women naturally centered throughout the text, bringing a feminine vantage to the classic work. Following Meditations: The Feminine Stoic Edition, this volume continues that vision. Since Stoicism belongs to women too.
