"Enchiridion" van Epictetus is het beroemdste handboekje van het stoïcisme – een praktische gids voor het leven, geschreven door een voormalige slaaf die vrijheid vond in het denken. In kernachtige stellingen maakt de tekst onderscheid tussen wat onder onze controle valt en wat niet, en laat zien waarom juist dat verschil rust kan geven. In deze nieuwe vertaling klinken Epictetus’ lessen helder en direct in het Nederlands. Het boek is geen filosofisch traktaat, maar een reeks oefeningen. Het stoïcisme verschijnt hier niet als theorie, maar als praktijk: hoe om te gaan met beledigingen, verlies, tegenslag en de dood. Epictetus houdt geen preek – hij instrueert, kort en zonder omhaal. De kracht van de tekst zit in wat hij weglaat: geen opsmuk, alleen richting. Als zorgvuldig geredigeerd eBook biedt deze Nederlandse nieuwe vertaling het "Enchiridion" van Epictetus – een gids voor innerlijke vrijheid die stoïcisme als levenskunst laat ervaren.

Of all the faculties (except that which I shall soon mention), you will find not one which is capable of contemplating itself, and, consequently, not capable either of approving or disapproving. How far does the grammatic art possess the contemplating power? As far as forming a judgment about what is written and spoken. And how far music? As far as judging about melody. Does either of them then contemplate itself? By no means. But when you must write something to your friend, grammar will tell you what words you should write; but whether you should write or not, grammar will not tell you. And so it is with music as to musical sounds; but whether you should sing at the present time and play on the lute, or do neither, music will not tell you. What faculty then will tell you? That which contemplates both itself and all other things. And what is this faculty? The rational faculty; for this is the only faculty that we have received which examines itself, what it is, and what power it has, and what is the value of this gift, and examines all other faculties: for what else is there which tells us that golden things are beautiful, for they do not say so themselves? Evidently it is the faculty which is capable of judging of appearances. What else judges of music, grammar, and the other faculties, proves their uses, and points out the occasions for using them? Nothing else.
