- The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical. He directs his students to focus attention on their opinions, anxieties, passions and desires, so that "they may never fail to get what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid." True education lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us, and in learning to correctly assent or dissent to external impressions. The purpose of his teaching was to make people free and happy.
This is my own recording of Book 4/4 of The Discourses of Epictetus.

@@mirshahbazali2727 Thank you! (I've updated with your timings)
That's a big damn gap between chapters 1 and 2. Especially as compared to the length between the other chapters. What can you do though? The source material is the source material.
Ooh
O
I've been listenening to these things for a while and they've helped a lot over the years. But, over the past few weeks been feeling lonely and sadly heartbroken though I don't feel I have valid reason. Just really hard to bite down on. Keep turning to these tho. Hoping it'll subside. Cheers yall
Thank you for completing the series.
Thank you Robin. I can't help but associate stoicism with your voice, whenever I read Seneca or Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius it's always in your voice, and I will listen to this one from head to finish. Your recordings have truly helped me.
One of the greatest books ever written. Can you imagine that there was a whole school with him. And that there had been so much more which has been lost in time..
This is a great step for me and I am greatfull for all who have made this possible and have brought me great joy.
Chapter 11, the part about having a clean soul. Awesome.

Thank you
I feel like Epictetus is right next to me. Good work! Thank you!
This channel makes my monthly youtube subscription worth every penny.
Home, it's clear that you put a ton of effort into these. Thank you for making them, the readings are outstanding and the content is just timeless.
youtube is free.
@@Catonius upgrade to not cut off when you need to use phone for someting else is not free, but worth the paltry sum.
@@dennyr3 you engrish good
@@dennyr3 That's what CZcams Vanced is for. :D
Brilliant! Can’t wait to listen to this. Thanks for your continued work Vox Stoica. Epictetus is a great inspiration for my YT channel.
Another great listen!! Thanks...I love this channel!!
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you for the upload!
thank you for this, it has been a huge help.
Finally! Thank you.
love it ! thank you,sir !
Try this on 0.75x. Totally stoic.
Wow thanks again!
you should make some audiobooks on the works of cicero
This moral purpose thing sounds pretty neat where can I find one
Thank you for this. How about the fragments? :)
Epictetus reminds me of William Walker Atkinson, Swami Vivekananda, the New Testament authors, etc.
Before I listened to this book, I listened to you reading Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of 5 Rings". Every time your voice tapers off I expect you to say "You must study this well" LOL. I get flashbacks to listening to that book during some of my training every time you say the word "spirit". Anyways, thank you very very much for this Robin. I struggled to find the time to read the book, and you made it so much easier for me to stay consistent. Take care!!
you are the best sir
4.6 is great. Made my day. Our should I say I made my own day lol.

I can't find your Audible for the Discourses, only the Enchiridion. Is there someplace I can buy/download the full Discourses? I love this channel and would really like to show my support, also, you're my favorite reader out of all the one's I've heard and I would like prefer to have your version of the audiobook, if possible.
That first chapter 👌 wow

No I wouldn't, Mr Epictetus, because it's within your power-of-choice/moral-purpose to decide that you will assent to all of those things and decide that they are not a misfortune, because it is only oneself that makes one misfortunate, and it has befallen you as Zeus wills. No one can force you but yourself, so you have already assented to these things.
Furthermore, as you said before, it's not right for a man to take on and share the miseries of another, so where is the reason to get angry, let alone kill, the man who does these things to you?
:V
Yeah by the power of czar do UI
What translation is this??? Link pls??
Check video description. There's a link there.
@@VoxStoica that’s for penguin classics. Not the same translation of the videos
"Translation by William Abbot Oldfather en.wikisource.org/wiki/Epictetus,_the_Discourses_as_reported_by_Arrian,_the_Manual,_and_Fragments"
Why thank you, but is there not a book of this rather than a wiki link?
Couldn't find one when I first made the Amazon link. There must be one somewhere though.
I did become a slave and I did discover terrible things along the way. Now I am trapped. I know by small changes I might be able to get out of it but I’ve become worse then the corpse, the biggest prostitute, a walking zombie of the sort.
Even if I take small steps, I take larger ones in the wrong direction.
I must be so blind.
Where are these good people? What are they like? Will I even be able to tell who they are? Or will I fall into more traps.
Aren’t you also a slave?
Or are we all just trying and striving not to be slaves or have some of you become free? If so who are you make your self known I would find it rather interesting to chat with free men.
I thought I had values and morals but what I have built up was just an empty shell, lies built on further lies.

I disagree with epictitus
