Here's my commentary on that short chapter 20 of Epictetus' classic Stoic text, the Enchiridion. It's all about our "opinions" or "judgements" (dogmata)

Here's my commentary on the short chapter 16 from Epictetus' classic work of Stoic philosophy. How should we respond to other person's misfortunes? Epictetus tell us what a proper Stoic approach looks like

Here's my line-by-line commentary on chapter 14 of Epictetus' Enchiridion. If we want to be happy in life, he suggests, we need to look at how (un)reasonable our wishes, desires, and hopes are

Here's a short commentary on a short chapter in Epictetus' Enchiridion. It's about a really central concept in his Stoic philosophy: prohairesis and what we think impedes or blocks us

This piece examining interpretations and explanations of a rather enigmatic passage from Epictetus' Enchiridion, is getting some recent traction. I guess people want to know what chapter 27 is supposed to mean!

Here's the transcript of my commentary on Epictetus' Enchiridion chapter 6, which has to do with what's really ours, what we can actually be proud of, or rightly elated by. And what's not.

@thechristianstoic Yes, quite right. I just was re-reading The Enchiridion and will have my students read most of it this term.

In Enchiridion 4, Epictetus reminds us about keeping our cool at the baths. Lots of other situations we can apply this to in our own present-day life! Here's some useful commentary on that chapter
