Description: Originally published in 1894 by the German scholar Adolf Bonhöffer and here translated into English for the first time, this work remains the most systematic and detailed study of Epictetus's ethics.
Review Quotes: "If there were a Bible of studies on Epictetus, it would certainly have to be Bonhöffer's The Ethics of the Stoic Epictetus. Bonhöffer's understanding of Epictetus is deep. Even today, as more and more research is being produced on Epictetus, it always pays dividends to look back to Bonhöffer's foundational study. For this reason, the translation by William O. Stephens is extremely welcome and it belongs on the shelf of every scholar working on Stoicism."-Brian E. Johnson, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University
