«Όποιος θέλει να είναι ελεύθερος, δεν πρέπει να επιθυμεί ή να αποφεύγει κάτι που εξαρτάται από τους άλλους, αλλά να περιοριστεί μόνο σε εκείνα στα οποία έχει τον απόλυτο έλεγχο».

Απόσταγμα σοφίας του στωικού φιλόσοφου Επίκτητου, που δίδαξε ότι η ελευθερία δεν είναι νομικό καθεστώς ούτε δυνατότητα που μας παρέχεται, αλλά ο πνευματικός προσανατολισμός των ανθρώπων που πέτυχαν να έχουν ανοσία στην απογοήτευση ακόμα κι αν είναι μέσα στη φυλακή.

Όλοι μπορούμε να είμαστε ελεύθεροι, αρκεί να μάθουμε να προσδίδουμε ύψιστη αξία σε ό,τι μπορούμε να ελέγξουμε (τα κίνητρά μας και τις αντιδράσεις μας), να αντιμετωπίζουμε με ψυχραιμία ό,τι δεν μπορούμε να ελέγξουμε, και να αναζητούμε ευκαιρίες να κάνουμε το καλό και να είμαστε καλά παρά την κακοτυχία μας ή τα όσα μας συμβαίνουν ως συνέπεια των πράξεων άλλων ανθρώπων.

Το βιβλίο Επίκτητος – Ο δρόμος για την ελευθερία περιγράφει τη σημασία της στωικής ελευθερίας και μας δίνει μοναδικά επίκαιρα μηνύματα. Σε μια εποχή που όλοι καλούμαστε να βρούμε την ψευδαίσθηση της ευτυχίας στο έχειν και στην εικόνα, η φωνή των Στωικών έρχεται να μας θυμίσει να παραμείνουμε πιστοί στις ουσιαστικές αρχές που μας προσδιορίζουν, του μοναδικού δρόμου για να νιώσουμε αληθινά ελεύθεροι.

Δύσκολα μπορεί να σκεφτεί κανείς ένα βιβλίο που θα συνέβαλλε περισσότερο από το συγκεκριμένο στο ολοένα αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον για τον στωικισμό ως τρόπο ζωής. Κανείς δεν μπορεί να γράψει με περισσότερο κύρος για τον στωικισμό από τον Α.Α. Long. Ως μεταφραστής, συνδυάζει τη γνώση ενός σπουδαίου ακαδημαϊκού και τη γλώσσα ενός εκλεπτυσμένου Άγγλου ευγενή και η προσιτή εισαγωγή του είναι το απόσταγμα μιας διά βίου μάθησης. Το βιβλίο Επίκτητος – Ο Δρόμος για την Ελευθερία πετυχαίνει τον στόχο του με όμορφο τρόπο.

Brad Inwood, συγγραφέας του Stoicism: A Very Short Introduction

Μια θαυμάσια προσέγγιση.

Ryan Holiday, Medium

Τα σημάδια του ανθρώπου που προκόβει: δεν ψέγει κανέναν, δεν επαινεί κανέναν, δεν λέει τίποτα για τον εαυτό του, ότι δήθεν ξέρει κάτι.

Επίκτητος
