The Handbook
- Do you think you could live as Epictetus recommends for a day? If you could live in this way, would it be desirable to do so? Explain. If you could not live in this way, why not? Should you?
- Consider Epictetus’s references to Socrates. Explain why you think Epictetus reveres Socrates. Do you agree?
- Are there any pieces of advice offered by Epictetus that you think can be captured in modern slogans (e.g., “You are your own worst enemy”)? What are they? Do you think these are good pieces of advice?
