Epictetus’s Discourses are remarkable in that they give the impression that, after them, there was not much left to say about ethics. Times change, customs change, but what is relevant is, in some way, portrayed there. And even among the great philosophers of different schools of thought, we can draw a parallel—or rather, we can find the equivalent of what they say in the work of that extraordinary sage. Two thousand years have passed! And this great work remains intact, as valuable and as relevant as it has always been… And so it will remain.
