Pocas cosas se saben de Epicteto (h. 55-h. 135) fuera de su condición primera de esclavo, su interés por la filosofía y que, ya libre, fundó su propia escuela en Nicomedia (Epiro). Adscrito comúnmente a la corriente filosófica estoica, que conoció su auge en torno a los siglos III a.C.-II d.C., sus enseñanzas, que sólo nos han llegado a través de los apuntes de uno de sus discípulos y otras fuentes indirectas, desprenden una sabiduría directa y clara, y tratan por lo general cuestiones prácticas que tienen como espacio natural la vida y las inquietudes personales del ser humano. Precedida de una iluminadora introducción, esta antología titulada como El arte de vivir (en tiempos difíciles) -que integra su "Manual" y una selección de sus "Disertaciones"- proporciona una recopilación significativa de su pensamiento, cuyo influjo se echa de ver en las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio y que pivota en torno a la capacidad de la persona para elegir cómo enjuiciar las penas y alegrías que la afectan.
