The Teachings

Selected Discourses

The Discourses are the longer record. In them, you see Epictetus in the room with his students, answering questions, pushing back, telling stories. Eight lectures are gathered here, chosen as a way in. A full reading of the Discourses waits for another day, when you are ready for it.
