Ojennusnuora
by Epictetus
"Ojennusnuora" by Epictetus is a handbook of Stoic ethics from ancient times. This compact guide aims to improve human life by teaching how to preserve inner worth and use natural powers wisely. The work addresses the relationship between mind and body, emphasizes internal values over external circumstances, and instructs readers on achieving peace of mind by avoiding false judgments. Epictetus connects ethics with religion, arguing that rational humans share kinship with the divine and can achieve god-like purity through spiritual detachment from worldly desires.
