Robert Dobbin presents a new translation into clear modern English of the first book of Epictetus' Discourses , accompanied by the first ever commentary on the work in English. The Discourses , composed around AD 100, are a key source for ancient Stoicism, one of the most influential schools of thought in Western philosophy. The first book is philosophically the richest: it focuses primarily on ethics and moral psychology, but also touches on issues of logic, epistemology, science, and rhetoric; other notable schools of ancient thought, including Epicureans, Sceptics, and Cynics, are discussed. Dobbin's general introduction gives background information about Epictetus' life and work; his bibliography surveys the literature. The volume serves as a guide to Epictetus' thought as a whole.
