  While many schools of thought arose on the subject, Stoicism and Epicureanism dominated the philosophical landscape for nearly 500 years, often locked in bitter rivalry with each other. This work explores the moral philosophy of Epictetus, a former Roman slave and Stoic teacher whose writings are the most compelling defence of ancient Stoicism.
