Epictetus' Handbook

Likely an apocryphal text, this Manual of Epictetus is a discourse on the virtues of the philosopher in very simple terms, which in fact apply to all human beings. Undoubtedly one of the earliest texts on the development of philosophy, the author explains the ideas and habits that a person who wants to find the truth must seek both within themselves and in the world around them, in true Stoic fashion. Even in the 20th century, his writings strongly influenced philosophers, such as Alain.

A practical philosophy, which is put into action, and which demonstrates a genuine love of wisdom.
