In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle defines decision as the “deliberative desire to do an action that is up to us”
(36). In his Handbook, Epictetus argues that “freedom” comes from restricting our desires and fears to what is
up to us (15). Explain the difference between the role of voluntary action in the practice of virtue and the role of
choice in the practice of the “art . . . of [the] inside” (Hndbk 20). If the goal of both philosophies is some version
of living well, who lives better, the Aristotelian or the Stoic?
