What remains ours to answer for when outcomes, reputation, health, and power are uncertain? This original English introduction follows Epictetus through the use of impressions, choice, desire, social roles, and freedom. Eighteen chapters test his arguments against grief, disability, coercion, and unequal access to action while keeping his Stoic theology and Arrian's role in the surviving texts visible.
