Zoom class: An Introduction to Stoic Philosophy: Reading Epictetus

This class provides participants an opportunity to read a highly influential early Stoic philosopher, Epictetus. Born a slave with a
bad leg, he gained his freedom and became one of the most famous philosophers in Rome in the 1st and 2nd centuries. This
will be a Great Books method class, where the students will read the short book first and then the instructor will entertain questions
from the book. Here is the link to The Enchiridion by Epictetus: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/45109/45109-h/45109-h.htm
