Autoren-Porträt von Arrian Epictetus
Arrian of Nicomedia, known to the classical world as a historian, public servant, and military commander, etched his name in the annals of philosophy primarily through his work as a disciple and chronicler of Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher. Arrian, born circa 86/89 AD and living until approximately 160 AD, extensively documented the teachings of Epictetus, thereby ensuring that the sage's stoic wisdom would be preserved for future generations. His most recognized work, the 'Enchiridion,' a short manual of Epictetus's teachings, distills the essence of Stoic philosophy into applicable maxims for life's practical conduct. In crafting 'Enchiridion,' Arrian not only provided a philosophical toolkit for the attainment of eudaimonia- a state of human flourishing and virtuous living- but also contributed significantly to the preservation and understanding of Stoic thought in the post-classical world. Arrian's literary style in 'Enchiridion' reflects clarity, conciseness, and a focus on the actionable application of philosophy, shunning abstract theorization in favor of Stoicism's pragmatic approach to the challenges of daily life.
