Epictetus was a prominent Stoic philosopher of the first and early second centuries CE, whose teachings have had a lasting impact on Western thought. Born a slave in the Roman Empire, he later gained his freedom and taught philosophy in Nicopolis, Greece. His ideas, recorded by his student Arrian in The Discourses and the Enchiridion, emphasize the importance of distinguishing between what is within our control and what is not, advocating for personal responsibility, rational thought, and acceptance of fate. Epictetus’s practical approach to ethics and his focus on inner freedom and virtue have influenced not only later Stoic thinkers but also modern psychological frameworks such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
