To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were many Stoic teachers in Rome. Of the lectures of one, Epictetus, we possess notes, taken down by a pupil. Epictetus had been the slave of Epaminondas, a friend of Nero's (54 A. D. ), and his lectures are full of references to his times, to slaves, to arbitrary imperial power, to unjust sentences of death and banishment, to the anxieties of the nervous Roman and his way of life, to the philosophical views of the day, to personal ambitions, and common vices. In the midst of all of this,... he believes that there is a way of escape and of progress for the individual soul. His discourse is like a torrent of argu- ment a quick conversation with an imaginary objector, a sharp and absolute summing up, and a conclusion that is almost a scourging of the feeble-hearted and unrepentant. He will drive his hearers to take thought of nobler cares and would leave them no chance for evading the fulfilment of higher endeavour. But sometimes, too, he takes another tone. He most earnestly beseeches them and entreats them.
