De qué trata

Una selección de las Disertaciones con el Enquiridión.

Contexto e historia

El Enquiridión es el manual de bolsillo que Arriano sacó de las Disertaciones para poder llevarlo encima. Lo leía Marco Aurelio, y también los primeros monjes cristianos, que lo copiaban cambiando los nombres de los dioses. Aviso: es una selección, no las Disertaciones completas.

Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.

You, who have received these powers free and as your own, use them not; you do not even see what you have received, and from whom; some of you being blinded to the giver, and not even acknowledging your benefactor, and others, through meanness of spirit, betaking yourselves to fault-finding and making charges against God. Yet I will show to you that you have powers and means for greatness of soul and manliness; but what powers you have for finding fault making accusations, do you show me. HOW FROM THE FACT THAT WE ARE AKIN TO GOD A MAN MAY PROCEED TO THE CONSEQUENCES.…
