If it be slight, I remain; if grievous, I quit  it. For you must remember this and hold it fast, that the door stands  open.\"\u003cbr\u003eA leading thinker of the Stoic school of philosophy, Epictetus  (A.D. 55–135) was a renowned teacher whose students transcribed and  compiled his teachings; this collection presents the work of Arrian, a  Greek philosopher and historian who was a disciple of Epictetus. In  these two brief but highly influential works, Epictetus demonstrates  that philosophy is more than a theoretical discipline; it is a way of  life based on logic, reason, and self-reflection. His examination of the  nature of fate and man's place in the universe explores the distinction  between what is and is not within our power, the meaning of good and  evil, how we should live, and many other timeless issues.","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168651591849,"sku":"PHBK-9780486811239","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/8362203482361.jpg?v=1780945841","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-epictetus-golden-sayings-and-fragments","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
