저자에 대하여

Epictetus was a renowned Stoic philosopher whose teachings have greatly influenced Western thought. Born into slavery, he eventually gained his freedom and dedicated his life to the study and practice of philosophy. Epictetus emphasized the importance of personal ethics informed by a system of logic and views on the natural world. His most famous work, the 'Enchiridion', serves as a manual of practical ethical guidance, focusing on what is within our control and how to respond to circumstances beyond our influence.

His ideas encourage resilience and self-discipline, teaching that true freedom is found in one's mindset rather than external conditions. The core of his philosophy revolves around the belief that one's happiness and well-being depend on their own actions and responses to life's challenges. Epictetus's teachings continue to resonate, inspiring countless individuals to cultivate inner strength and maintain composure in the face of adversity.
