About The Book

Discourses: Books 3 and 4 by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, published by Dover, provides readers with timeless wisdom on the pursuit of freedom, the art of solitude, and the nature of human behavior. In this 119-page paperback edition, Epictetus explores profound themes of human existence, addressing subjects such as cynicism, fear, discretion, and the avoidance of quarrels—topics that continue to resonate with readers seeking guidance on personal growth and self-mastery.

The book is part of a two-volume set, offering a continuation of the ideas presented in earlier books of Epictetus’ Discourses. Through his teachings, Epictetus encourages individuals to focus on the things they can control, while accepting with equanimity the things they cannot. His Stoic philosophy remains relevant to those interested in self-discipline, ethical living, and the cultivation of inner peace.

Ideal for students of philosophy and those looking for practical advice on navigating life’s challenges, this edition of Discourses: Books 3 and 4 offers a deep dive into Stoic thought, presented in a convenient paperback format with the original Greek and Latin references. Epictetus’ insights continue to inspire those in search of wisdom on how to lead a life of virtue and resilience.
